How to evict a wolf

When you're no longer performing at your best,
when you've lost your speed and there's no control.
Now your strength has gone and the weakness shows,
it's time for another to take on your role.

Though you used to lead and always knew the way,
you are soon outranked by the fit and young,
who lie in wait as you perform the test
and show no respect for the song you sung.

They will stop you moving and they'll cut you off,
until the territory boundary's on the farthest side.
You might howl at the moon but your call's unheard,
for you've already started on the Lone Wolf's ride.
