What happens when we reach retirement age?

What happens when we can no longer work? We'll still have a mountain of debt, no savings and no ability to work. Social security would most likely be bankrupt by then but even if not, it pays very little money that can't support even a basic lifestyle. What happens then? I heard someone say once “These are the rules of the game. If you have the power to change them, change them but if not you gotta play the game, even if you don't like the rules” Is that the answer? Instead of trying to change the world, do whatever disgusting things people do to succeed in this capitalist world (bootlick, work in awful industries that pay well, give up on personal life and work ridiculous hours to “get ahead”)?
