People try to put us down(talking 'bout my generation)
Just because we're still around " " "
They say it's time to give it a rest
you know you're really past your best

So you were hot in seventy six
but do you have to keep playing those tired old licks?
God the years have taken their toll
you're far too old to rock and roll

just close up the cabriolet hood
your babe magnet days are gone for good
you've rolled your last humungous spliff
your joints are now too swollen and stiff


that was your generation
your generation baby


why don't you all ffffffade away
and just try to dig what I'm gonna say
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
I'm just talkin about my generation


so what if the years have taken their toll
your never too old to rock and roll
as long as we can still stagger around
we'll keep pushin out those funky sounds





I don't need no viagra shot
my flamin fender keeps me hot
I've got my sparklin wit and my repartee
and groupies fizzin with HRT

you don't need to ask us to take you higher
you know that we still light your fire
when I can chill all day with capital gold
I don't wanna die before I get old


This is my generation
This is my generation baby
