Ian Hogbin - Generation Gap(s) lyrics

he old man, he says

"Kids nowadays are far too ahead of their time.

Stuff they know now I didn't know 'til I was at least 22."

People just walk by, thinking "Stupid old man...

Ranting and raving so."

"The children today don't know how good they've...

Got it.

Don't know how to appreciate things.

When I was their age...blah, blah, blah."

When they were their age, y'know they were the same

Fate seems to have kept two worlds apart

Kids today don't listen to a word they say

And this makes them misunderstand

The kids wanna have fun, some more, some less

Face it folks, all generations are the same

The fads are the only things that change

"Parents just don't understand," wasn't that...

A song?

Anyway, aforementioned statement may just be true

But hey kids...ever stop to think

You may not understand them, do you?

The Generation Gap, it's never been filled

Crazy, wacko, spiritual, wannabe guru

Preaches on the streets of D.C., trying...

To persuade one generation or another

Do any of 'em really listen to his raves?

I think not

Sometimes the Boomers can be right

Sometimes the X-ers are too

Who'd believe the X-ers - the big time whiners -

Would be having babies called...what's that phrase?

Generation Next?

They scream and argue and still resolve nothing

Every once in a great, great, great, great, great...

While the generations agree on something

What a revelation that is!

The Boomers regret their "dopey" days, "I did not inhale" they say

The X-ers hide their rage, and the Next-ers smile for once

The Generation Gaps may just be filled one day
