Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And we are the youth of today, change our 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
[Verse 5]
And maybe, if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one-sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
[Verse 6]
And you don't know a single thing about
The youth of today
Stating your opinion
Making it ring in my head all day
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
And we are the youth of today, change our 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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
And we are the youth of today, change our 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
