Dm
Maybe, if you were some spear-headed guy
        A#
I would listen to what you have to say
          F
But your just some incapable figure
          A
Thinking your 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

Chorus:
    Dm
And we are the youth of today,
change your hair in every way
    A#
And we are the youth of today,
we'll say what we want to say
     F
And we are the youth of today,
don't care what you have to say
A
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
