Who? My Generation, Barack
I now understand the line in The Who's "My Generation" - "I hope I die before I get old". I used to think it was because they thought that if they grew old that they'd end up like their parents. Now I know better.
So with apologies to The Who ...
People still try to put us d-d-d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we're still renowned (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
The things you say are more of the old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
But we took action no one foretold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It is my generation
It is my generation, Barack
Why don't you just f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to scorn what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
You know who worked to change this n-n-nation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It is my generation
It is my generation, 'Bama
Why don't you just f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to scoff at what we s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not sending you a d-d-donation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It is my generation
It is my generation, Baby
You can try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we got things done (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Our changes were wonders to beho-o-old(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, and we made them before we got old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
It is my generation
It is my generation, Barack

Wish I could unnerstan' all that stuff. Guess I'm too old. WTF do they mean and who are they talkin' to?
Bill, they made that song 40 years ago!!!!
Even then, there were a lot of lyrics I did not understand. Must be a generational thing.
There's a story on MSNBC news about Obama & McCain being neck & neck among voters of both genders, aged 40 - 49. They say Obama has a lot of work to do to make up ground with that demographic. Duh!
