My Generation

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Bring the bedpan my tummy did frown...

Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Make fun'a my walker I'll knockya to the ground...

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
You old geezer, happens when you're old....

I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
If ya ain't got a ranch style house, better get it sold...

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Sugar and spice and all things nice......
Pull up that long metal handle, it'll break up the ice..
Dial Jim Bob's number, and if you need to look,
It's right there in the book.

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Like the white highway lines at the end of the day...

And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It may sound like jibberish, and with that we're ok..

I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just pass me the 'H', as in Preparation...

I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
We're the Boomers of this damn nation.. (Can'tya tell/smell?)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Where bling is yarn on a class ring...
It's hot, roll the window down, turn in the wing (ya little snot)..

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Who are all these people and why don't they work night or day?

And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Dig? Cool. Groovy. Bummer. Hip. Burn rubber. Is that all ok?

I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
WOW assisted care's expensive, dadgum inflation..

I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Poems and aging,you get to frustration...

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Jonesy stole my damn spindle, now I can't play 45's..
If the shingles don't get us, safe bet it'll be hives..
Back in our day, the Kuku, Dairy Queen, Sammy's, ah, the spots around town...
Now all the spots - well... they're just brown.

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Make love not war, we hate that noun..

Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It WASN'T me, I didn't make that sound.. (at least, if I did, I couldn't hear it)..

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Bitchin' about the Government, the weather, and the ballcards we sold (or, affixed to our bike spoke, like the ONE MILLION DOLLAR Mantle rookie card)

Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Too late, we're there, or that I'm told.....

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Who? Who sang that? Hell I can't remember nuttin' nowadays.....

Love, Victurd
