well here we go again, Just like when I was a kid. They used to call it the generation gap.When I was a kid if you behaved outside of what was considered normal you got beaten. You could get beaten at school beaten by the cops, beaten by your parents.Beaten for being a punk. The kids have it easy these days.
lyrics
he kids are wide awoke
I see so much anger directed at the kids
the grownups hate their music and think they're idiots
I think it's always been this way since the dawn of time
each generation thinks that they're the best of their kind
the kids are convinced that the adults are all dicks
they're liars and thieves and total hypocrites
but looking at the earth and the damage we have done
I think the kids are right and they might have a solution
It's possible that the problem is inherent in our species
all this anger and aggression we couldn't give a squirt of piss
If we would only clean up our fucking mess
maybe they would notice an offer us some help
The kids are all wide awoke so what's the fucking problem
they just want the same things that we fought for when we were them
but the world wasn't falling apart at the seams
so I wasted all my time starting riots and getting high
The kids are all wide awoke and ready for their turn
to rule the world and show us just exactly what they learned
The kids are all wide awoke and chompin' at the bit
to rule the world and show us what they will do with it
