Against the '70s (Live at the Metro, Chicago, IL - May 1995) - Mike Watt

Written by：Mike Watt

I asked him if he knew what time he had

He said he wasn't sure maybe a quarter past

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look

Oh what the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

It's not reality

Just someone else's sentimentality

It won't work for you

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history

Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh

Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

It's not reality

Just someone else's sentimentality

Look what it did to Watt

Speaking as a child of the 70's

Well the kids

Against the 70's

Kids against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's
