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

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

And you don't know a single 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

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
