Aging (American English, occasionally British English) or ageing (British English) is the accumulation of changes in a person over time. Ageing in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change. Some dimensions of ageing grow and expand over time, while others decline. Reaction time, for example, may slow with age, while knowledge of world events and wisdom may expand. Research shows that even late in life, potential exists for physical, mental, and social growth and development.[citation needed] Ageing is an important part of all human societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also reflecting cultural and societal conventions. Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.
Age is measured chronologically, and a person's birthday is often an important event. However the term "ageing" is somewhat ambiguous. Distinctions may be made between "universal ageing" (age changes that all people share) and "probabilistic ageing" (age changes that may happen to some, but not all people as they grow older including diseases such as type two diabetes). Chronological ageing may also be distinguished from "social ageing" (cultural age-expectations of how people should act as they grow older) and "biological ageing" (an organism's physical state as it ages).[citation needed] There is also a distinction between "proximal ageing" (age-based effects that come about because of factors in the recent past) and "distal ageing" (age-based differences that can be traced back to a cause early in person's life, such as childhood poliomyelitis).
Same four chords and same old theme
I can't seem to get away from the TV screen
And though I've failed it can't be said I haven't tried
Still I can't help feeling that I'm trapped inside
There's no easy way out, is there?
I'm gonna have to get a job
Not gonna rob a bank
Not gonna win the lottery
Oh, but I won't cry
I'm gonna be all right
Cause there's a time for singing in the rain
And there's a time for playing in the snow
There's a time for laughing and for crying
There's a time to stay and a time not to stay
I don't know
Same four chords and the same old song
I cna't even believe I've been sitting here this long
Though I've tried it can't be said I haven't failed
Still I can't help hoping I'll hear from the resume I just mailed
When I was younger I thought I'd be fine
I was gonna be a millionaire
Everyone would stop and stare
When they saw my name was up in lights
Oh, but I'm a big boy now
I don't mind, I won't cry
I'm gonna be all right
Cause there's a time for pleasure and for pain
And there's time for yes and time for no
There's a time for living and for dying
There's a time to stay and a time to say
I'm coming home
You swore that I would be the king
And now nothing's enough cause I want everything
