Golly gosh, the youth of today
Look at you! To be young again
You old fools speak as if you’d never
Ever experienced growing pains
The whole world is your oyster
There for your taking so have some fun
The Earth has disinherited us
‘Cuz you all lived fast, it died young
How did you get so bitter so young
And bored with all that life could give
Well, what’s left for us anyway
In this shithole where we live
We’d get a smack for saying that
When we were your age long ago
Nature has a way to compensate
Not much time left so we’re born old
Ungrateful bastards, the lot of you
We’re so writing you out of our will
Suits us just fine, money is no use
When this planet is gone and time stands still
Look at you! To be young again
You old fools speak as if you’d never
Ever experienced growing pains
The whole world is your oyster
There for your taking so have some fun
The Earth has disinherited us
‘Cuz you all lived fast, it died young
How did you get so bitter so young
And bored with all that life could give
Well, what’s left for us anyway
In this shithole where we live
We’d get a smack for saying that
When we were your age long ago
Nature has a way to compensate
Not much time left so we’re born old
Ungrateful bastards, the lot of you
We’re so writing you out of our will
Suits us just fine, money is no use
When this planet is gone and time stands still
