Lyric Younger Generation

Why must every generation think they re folks are square?
And no matter where they re heads are, they know mom s aint there.
Cause I swore when I was small, that I d remember when,
I knew what s wrong with them, that I was smaller than.

Determined to remember all the cardinal rules.
Like, sunshowers are legal grounds, for cutting school.
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two.
And I hope that I recall them all before the baby s due.
And I ll know he ll have a question or two.

Like, hey pop. Can I go ride my zoom?
It goes twohundred miles an hour, suspended on baloons.
And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tounge?
And imagine puffing dragons, while you sit and wreck your e lungs.
And I must me permissive, understanding of the younger generation.

And then I know that all I ve learned, my kid assumes.
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons.
And still I ll try to tell him all the things I ve done,
relating to what he can do when he becomes a man.
And still he ll sticks his fingers in the fan.

And hey pop, my girlfriend s only three.
She s got her own videophone,
and she s a-taking LSD.
And now that were best friends, she want s to give a bit to me.
But whats the matter daddy? How come your e turning greed?
Can it be that you can t live up to your e dreams?
