Cover art for Red Oyster Cult lyrics by Guster

To me, it seems that influential tone desperation is used throughout the lyrics...the "you'll never have to change" as well as "there's not a chance you're ever going to change the world" specifically I think it's about someone committing suicide. Or about to anyway. After all, if you're dead, you can't grow up nor old.
