Let me tell you sonny... let me tell you straight |
|
You kids today ain't never had it tough |
|
Always had everything handed to you on a silver plate |
|
You lazy brats think nothing's good enough |
|
Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below |
|
We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow |
|
Worked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a cent |
|
Had to sell me internal organs just to pay the rent |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
|
Let me tell you something, you whiny little snot |
|
There's something wrong with all you kids today |
|
You just don't appreciate all the things you've got |
|
We were hungry, broken and miserable and we liked it fine that way |
|
There were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box |
|
All i got for christmas was a lousy bag of rocks |
|
Every night for dinner, we had a big 'ol chunk of dirt |
|
If we were really good, we didn't get dessert |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
|
Didn't have no telephone, didn't have no fax machine |
|
All we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of string |
|
Didn't have no swimming pool when i was just a lad |
|
Our neighbor's mseptic tank was the closest thing we had |
|
Didn't have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nails |
|
Didn't have nintendo, we just poured salt on snails |
|
Didn't have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glass |
|
Didn't have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grass |
|
What's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't believe this junk? |
|
You think my story's wearin' kinda thin? |
|
I tell you one thing, i never was such a disrespectful punk |
|
Back in my time, we had a thing called discipline |
|
Dad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelve |
|
Then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves |
|
Then he'd chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brain |
|
And let me tell ya, junior, you never heard me complain |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
|
When i was your age. when i was your age |
