Five Decades from Naked Truth by Autumn Dawn Leader
'Life begins at 40' and other such bullsh*t that gets said. You're told that you give less f*cks and that you become comfortable and confident in your own skin. Yeah, well, last year saw me turn 50. I'm still waiting. We're also told that 'life is short', and it really, really is NOT.

Lyrics
I'm still waiting to be comfortable in my own skin
It's been five decades, I heard it was supposed to begin
A decade ago, or so
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh
I was supposed to stop giving a f*ck
Be able to let go
But, it's been five decades
This skin still doesn't fit
Ohhh no, ohhh no!
My spirit and my wits are at their end!
I was supposed to stop giving a f*ck
I was supposed to stop giving a f*ck
Will I ever stop giving a f*ck?
Looks like I'll never stop giving a f*ck
Ohhhhh, ohhhhhhh
Five decades, it's such a long time
Life really isn't short
Five decades, it's such a long time
I don't k now if I can take anymore
