Song 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 doorstep
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 [x6]
