Generation Gap
Old people, young people,
please mind the gap,
it’s a nasty piece of work,
this generation trap.
Where one looks to the future,
and one dwells on the past,
it’s the present, just receive it,
it’s here, it doesn't last,
Appreciate we’re changing,
accept traditions end,
there’s nothing strange, with making change,
and having on-line friends.
The train pulls from the station,
there’s nobody on board,
too busy minding,
the generation gap.
A fall, they can’t afford.
It’s over now, we missed the chance,
to reach clear understanding,
we’re making tracks,
not turning backs,
it’s change that we’re demanding.
I ask that you please listen,
to keep my conscience sane,
as we compete,
please take a seat,
on the generation train.
