Against the 70's Songtext

von Mike Watt

I asked him if he knew what time he had.
He said he wasn't sure but maybe a quarter past.

The kids of today should defend themselves
Against the 70's!

I peered 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 70's!

It ain't 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 70's!

Stadium minds with stadium lies
Gotta make you laugh -
Garbage vendors against true defenders
Of the craft...

The kids of today should defend themselves
Against the 70's!
Look what it did to Watt
(speaking as a child of the 70's).
The kids - against the 70's!
