Ian Hogbin Generation Gap(s)
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
