Against The '70s Lyrics


Mike Watt Against The '70s


I asked him if he knew what time he had
He said he wasn’t sure, maybe a quarter past

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look
But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality...
It won’t work for you...

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
Forcing youth away from the truth of what’s real today

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s

Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh
Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70’s
It’s not reality, just someone else’s sentimentality...
Look what it did to us...

(Speakin’ as a child of the 70’s)

The kids against the 70’s...
Kids against the 70’s...

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
