Kids these days are smarter
You don't believe it but it's true
The world that they were weaned in
Taught them more than it taught you
Don't complain, don't try to think, just keep paying those bills
No point in trying to stop the sun or fight the rain and hills
It's coming at you like a train, on tracks that never stop
If you listen carefully to the wind you can hear the future drop
Today's machines are better, faster
Than the dreams of Isaac Asimov
Saving so much work and time
With cleaner, cordless, programmed love
(chorus)
The food that you can eat today
Is far beyond imagination
Of people from not that long ago
Talkin' 'bout my generation
(chorus)
Kings of old couldn't live the way
We peasants all do now
Despite the armies they could raise
They had no idea how
