Young People Scream

Lyrics

Young people scream, but the old they don't hear what they say
 Young people dance, but the old they just get in the way
 Young people laugh, but the old they just don't want to hear
 Because it's all been done before and baby, if it hasn't they don't care
 Old people, they make young people scream
 Old people, they make young people lay down and die
 Old people envy the young all their vigor and rhythm
 Soon they'll be dead and they want to take everyone with 'em
 With their leathery skin and their shriveled old underwear too
 They're stuck in the past and they'll never do anything new
 Old people, they make young people scream
 Old people, they make young people lay down and die
 Young people always get hot when there's something to say
 Senior citizens got us in this mess today
 Apples and pears when they're ripe they fall down from the trees
 Old people cling on to life like some kind of disease
 Old people, they make young people scream
 Old people, they make young people lay down and die
 Old people, they make young people scream
 Old people, they make young people lay down and die
