| Come on wave y'all, down by the riverside | |
| Say toodle-loo to the passing of a king | |
| If you can cling to the magic of the moment | |
| You'll carry on the message, just like him | |
| Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be scared of | |
| You're not alone, even when you're by yourself | |
| There ain't too much that really makes a ha'p'ths worth o' difference | |
| There ain't nothing new, that ain't been done before | |
| Is this the end of the old guard? | |
| I wouldn't count on it | |
| Is this end of the old platoon? | |
| When all the nations speak, unto the nations | |
| Not by the party boys who claim the title king | |
| We'll stop to see the changes that are written | |
| By the dawning of a new world here within | |
| Is this the end of the old guard? | |
| I wouldn't count on it | |
| Is this the end of the old platoon? | |
| Don't count on it | |
| I've seen the changes | |
| And i've heard the liberties | |
| So don't you tell me there's no more i can do | |
| I built a castle from the dreams of idle wasters | |
| And i'm on the ramparts looking down at you | |
| Is this the end of the old guard? | |
| I wouldn't count on it | |
| Is this the end of the old platoon? |
