The Generation Gap

from The Dodgy Bodgey by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Cutting edge youth culture, this old rocker was the one
Does the outsider have the street cred? Is youth culture just for the young
Leather jacket, stove pipe jeans, Mum and Dad were so ashamed
All these years later kids disown me just the same

Step up, step it up all you youngsters
The generation gap
The generation gap
Bring it on, bring it back!

Such a lack of respect/look at the youth of today
They don’t care about electric guitar/let alone how to play
Bang out distorted chords/stream your own DJ
I wanna score party pills too/scroll down the groupchat page

CHORUS

I love it when the young folk/step up call me dude
Makes an ol’ fella/feel included
All my friends are fat and content/poor things! I envy that
At least they’re happy/I’m just fat

My father served in both world wars/for liberty and nation
I fought in turn for a voice/ against that whole damn generation
The young now have the power/how could I object?
I’m gonna rebel against the kids/like they’re my parents all over again
