(Mike Watt - "Ballhog or Tugboat")



I asked him if he knew what time he had

He said he wasn't sure maybe a quarter past

The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies

Appeared in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look

But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book

The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (2x)

It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...

It won't work for you...



Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history

Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today

The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies

Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh

Garbage bandits 'gainst true defenders of the crowds



The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (2x)

It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...

Look what it did to us...



Speakin' as a child of the seventies...



The kids against the seventies

Kids against the seventies

The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies (12x)
