Come on wave y'all, down by the riverside
  Say toodle-loo to the passing of a king
  If you can cling to the magic of the moment
  You'll carry on the message, just like him
  
  Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be scared of
  You're not alone, even when you're by yourself
  There ain't too much that really makes a ha'p'ths worth o' difference
  There ain't nothing new, that ain't been done before
  
  Is this the end of the old guard?
  I wouldn't count on it
  Is this end of the old platoon?
  
  When all the nations speak, unto the nations
  Not by the party boys who claim the title king
  We'll stop to see the changes that are written
  By the dawning of a New World here within
  
  Is this the end of the old guard?
  I wouldn't count on it
  Is this the end of the old platoon?
  
  Don't count on it
  
  I've seen the changes
  And I've heard the liberties
  So don't you tell me there's no more I can do
  I built a castle from the dreams of idle wasters
  And I'm on the ramparts looking down at you
  
  Is this the end of the old guard?
  I wouldn't count on it
  Is this the end of the old platoon?
