The Generational Fight Song Lyrics

Listen here you little nincompoop

I tell you a story about a little campfire

I had in the summer of '69

I was a little

Eeny weeny, kid

And you didn't know my name

Because you weren't born

You weren't even a sperm, aha!

We Boomers were better than you, aha

We invented our technologies, that you do

The internet? I don't know what's that

But we created it, so you must know

All you little

You always think you always know everything

Old radio, old televisions

Old landlines, old blah blah blah blah

I don't know what you're talking about

You see

In the time we were born, that was modern

I don't know what you're going about

But we were better than you

We have more experience, more than you could ever have

I mean you will be alive in the year 2070

I will be dead!

Or probably cremated

I don't know about you but I bet you're pretty stupid

Remember the greats like The Beatles, Elvis?

Do you know who they are

Oh, I bet you don't

Did you even go to Woodstock

Do watch those documentaries?

Well I'll tell you something

Documentaries are priceless

Grandpa, do you know what priceless means?

I mean for goodness sake

How dumb can you be?

Listen, grandpa, sit down, please

I'm gonna tell you a story of the summer of 2009

See grandpa, I know that you have more experience than me

And you all think that vinyl records are better than anything

Oh for goodness sake, we have telephones

What do you have, some old landline?

Cut it

Get it

Please get it, grandpa

Get with the times' grandpa

Stop reading the paper

We have telephones

Come on

No, not telephones, we have phones

Phones! Phones, mobile phones

We carry them in our pocket

While you have to plug them in the wall

Mp3s, let's talk about that

That was over 10 years ago

We don't keep them like you do with your silly old, rotary phones

We have them in a drawer

While you have them on the display wall

Get with the times

Get with the times

Please, get with the times, grandpa

Hey! No

Let me tell you another thing

I know that you guys invented the internet

But what! Let me tell you something

Who was born into it?

See? You don't have the answer to that

It was us, grandpa, it was us

I bet you just use it for Facebook and Candy Crush

I mean come on

Stop complaining about our generation

What did your generation do?

You had racism, World Wars

And what do we have

Practically nothing

Other than 2020, 2020 sucked

But whatever

Come on grandpa, please

Don't

Oh that's where you get it wrong, little kid

You see you think we are dumber than you

Well, let me tell you something

Who is the oldest one here

I'm a baby boomer, and you are a millennial!

Grandpa, go to the internet

We are not millennials, we are generation Z

Get with the point already

How can you be so stupid at the same time?

I mean grandma's better than you

Because she brings cookies

Young man, I used to play in the construction sites

Almost freaked my feet with it

I was braver than you could ever be

I mean come on

You won't even dare

You will just stay in your Windows

And look at it

Ok! Now let me tell you something

You say that I'm not brave enough to do that

I would

But

As I'm gonna say it once again

I'm not stupid

Touché

Touché

Anyway, you have to pay for the boardwalk, that's all!
