Change Of The Guard Lyrics

Cover art for Change Of The Guard lyrics by Steely Dan

This is just what I think, and I've never actually heard the song, but I think the title says it all-"change of the guard". it speaks of retiring heroes who settled new frontiers and that they're on the same side because because they benefit from the settling. the other half of the meaning is that a new generation will settle new frontiers, drawing inspiration from the older generation.
