My Generation Gap

Look at all the people

With their pretty shiny hair

Their little pastel cardigans

Their heads all full of air

They carefully set their words in glass

They slowly take their time

They do it all so effortlessly

They look and feel so fine

I see them through my plastic home

They don't see what I do

I toss your words right out the door

And throw them back at you

They all fit in their little pegs

So neatly and so nice

They crash and burn into the sand

They slowly drown in ice

I wish that they could see it

I hope they get a clue

I really don't want to hurt them

But hey, what the hell can ya do?
