lyrics

You recall a time where you could speak your mind
Where you wouldn’t be judged for what you say
But now the thought police have caught you out of line
They say you’re blind cause you don’t see their way

And they could tell you off for telling like it is
They want to take your rights for what they feel is wrong
Well all these kids are just so sensitive today
When they don’t get their way

And all these children who demand the world to change
You didn’t have that ego at that age
You put yourself through school working minimum wage
Why should you pay when they could do the same?

And they will tell you off for telling like it is
They want to take your rights for what they think is wrong
Well all these kids are just so sensitive today
When they don’t get their way

But I will try and appeal to you
This ain’t the same economy or world in which you grew
The planet’s overpopulated
Environment is decimated
Should I have a family?
This world is falling all around my head
Yeah, well what would you say to that?
Why would you ask of us what you won’t do?

And so we’ll tell you off and tell you how it is
You ain’t gonna take our rights with all your wrongs
Well all you boomers best get used to seeing change
You have had your way
