Lyrics:

I don't know what's happened to the kids today We were different from the kids today in every way We didn't have none of this crazy music We didn't have none of these crazy clothes We didn't have guys getting high on the doorstop We didn't have none of those no, no



I don't care for these long haired guys They need a good bath They got shifty eyes They're either sleeping in the park Begging in the street Or they're speeding 'round town in a Lotus Elite (were'd they get the money from anyway?)



I can't say that I fought for kids like you in the war I fought for kids like the kids I thought you'd be That's who I was fighting for Put you all in the army, that's what I'd do Short back and sides, make men of you



Willi's my boy, he's been good up till now But last night he said \'I'm gonna make it on my own somehow Going off with my friends on the road a while Get away from you, you can drop dead, that's what you can do!\'



I would have thought that after fifty-five years A body could expect some kind of respect from the kids today I don't know what's happened to the kids today I don't know what's happened to the kids today
