When the old man
Was talking to the young man
You know the young man
He didn't give a damn
When the young man
Was talking to the old man
You know the old man
Well, he wouldn't understand
Though each appeared to be sure he was right
The seeds of doubt had been planted inside
And so they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye
There were two men
Still talking with the decade
But when the decade
Neither remain again
Though both agreed that their motives were right
They couldn't see how those methods applied
And so they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye
When the old man
Was talking to the young man
You know the young man
He didn't give a damn
When the young man
Was talking to the old man
You know the old man
Well, he wouldn't understand
Though each appeared to be sure he was right
The seeds of doubt had been planted inside
And so they argued on into the night
Too proud and stubborn to see eye to eye
