he old man, he says
"Kids nowadays are far too ahead of their time.
Stuff they know now I didn't know 'til I was at least 22."
People just walk by, thinking "Stupid old man...
Ranting and raving so."
"The children today don't know how good they've...
Got it.
Don't know how to appreciate things.
When I was their age...blah, blah, blah."
When they were their age, y'know they were the same
Fate seems to have kept two worlds apart
Kids today don't listen to a word they say
And this makes them misunderstand
The kids wanna have fun
Towering Fool
I like my summer home
love my yuppie job
got a cellular phone in my brand new Saab
I love my wife and my girlfriend too
I just love myself
you're gonna love me too
came out west to find myself
did the Maharishi squat on the continental shelf
got a groovy set of morals
and an Elvis Presley do
I'll swap my wife for yours
anything for you
got to stay away from the left coast groovies
living their lives like a cheesey movie
the wrap around shades and the air-head cuties
got a new-age stench because he traded his Pachuli
can the wicked feed the hungry?
can the children teach the old?
about a new way, a revolution
we're moving backwards, out of control
out of control, out of control
came out west to find myself
did the Maharishi squat on the continental shelf
got a groovy set of morals
and an Elvis Presley do
I'll swap my wife for yours
anything for you
got to stay away from the left coast groovies
living their lives like a cheesey movie
the wrap around shades and the air-head cuties
got a new-age stench because he traded his Pachuli
REPEAT
