Younger Generation (Woodstock)

6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 4 -4 5
Why must every generation think that folks are
5
square
6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4
And no matter where their heads are they know
5 6 5
Mom`s ain`t there
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 4 -4 5
`Cause I swore when I was small that I`d remember
5
when
3 -4 5 -4 5 6 -6 6 5 -4 5
I knew what`s wrong with them that I was taller

than
2.
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules
Like sunshowers are legal grounds for cuttin` school
I know I have forgotten maybe one or two
And I hope that I recall them all
5 5 6 5 6 5
before the baby`s due
4 4 -4 5 5 -4 5 4 4 4
And I know he`ll have a question or two
6 7 6 5 6 -6 -6 -6 6
Like ” Hey~~~ pop can I go ride my zoom
-4 5 -5 -5 6 6 5 6 5 6 5
That goes two hundred miles an hour suspended
6 -6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6
on balloons? And can I put a droplet of this
6 -6 -6 -6 6 -4 5 -5-5 -5 5
new stuff on my tongue, and imagine frothin`
5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 5 5 -4 4
dragons, While you sit and wreck your lungs?”
4 5 6 6 5 6 6 6 5 -6 6 6 5
And I must be permissive understanding of the

Younger Generation

And then I`ll know that all I`ve learned my kid a*sumes
And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons
And still I`ll try to tell him all the things I`ve done
Relating to what he can do when he becomes a man
And still he`ll stick his fingers in the fan

And “Hey~~~ pop my girlfriend`s only three
She`s got her own video phone and she`s a takin`LSD
And now that we`re best friends she want`s to
give a bit to me
5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 -4 -4 5 5
But what`s the matter Daddy how come you`re
5 5 5-4
turnin` green?

Can it be that you can`t live up to your dreams~~
