I finished the butter I had saved for the toast
Now it's all gone, the part I liked most
And when we tell the kids how it used to be
They laugh at us and our memory
The kids will never believe this
The kids will never believe
I used to drive by here when I was younger
There was a K-Mart there and people would stop
Now it's a race, a single space - fuck
A way to get home before that guy in his truck
And the kids will never believe this
Not a word of what I sing
The kids will never believe a word
The kids have got their own thing
And the music was different, it was always the best
We would change everything - but give it a rest
And kids today are all so compressed
Without Autotune they can't even get dressed
(short chorus, vamp, long chorus)
It wasn't much different in color or form
The title was the same but the pages were torn
If you remember, if you recall
The kids today weren't even born
And the kids today weren't even born
The kids weren't even conceived
"None of this needed for graduation"
That's always been the incantation
And it seems like every single generation
Has claimed to be the first in the nation
(long chorus)
But now it's gone further than just the biology
The physics has changed, and the chemistry too
So now it's not just some random topology
It's a whole new pharmacology
(long chorus)
The kids won't believe a single thing we say
The kids are on their own bus
