Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy I would listen to what you have to say,

But you're just some incapable figure thinking you're bigger than me.

But you're not, yet you don't know a thing about the youth of today,

Stating your opinion, making it ring in my head all day.

And you say, “My children weren't the same,

My children's children, they're the ones to blame.”

And you say, “In my day, we were better behaved,”

But it's not your day no more.

And we are the youth of today, change your hair in every way,

And we are the youth of today, we'll say what we wanna say,

And we are the youth of today, don't care what you have to say at all.
