Old Zeus
you really make me wonder
look at all the skinny gods who stole your thunder
look at the almighty one I loved and feared
with pain in his eyes
and food in his beard
and I'm surprised to find you here

Old Zeus
man, you had it made
don't it hurt to sit and watch your glory fade?
now you're just another cafe malcontent
last achievement: last month's rent

Old Zeus
all that power
but the changing of the gods
comes on the hour

Hanging out in the bathroom of a Trailways station
watching Jupiter and Odin do their Sam & Dave impersonation
everybody tries
not everybody can
but any true survivor is a soul man

Old Zeus
you really make me wonder
look at all the skinny gods who stole your thunder
look at Mr. Everything without his crown
sir, you better take the number on the matchbook down

Zeus
all that fame
but at least I could place the face with the name
at least I could place the face with the name
at least I could place the face with the name
Old Zeus
