O they assumed
the kids were alright
o they believed
I was just talkin’
’bout my generation
o they really didn’t know
what it was
to be the bad man
O they were terrified
of a teenage wasteland
o it had really
been too long
since they did the stroll
o too much time
had passed since
they first believed in
rock n’ roll
O they never were amazed at
the way it pulled them
out of time
O it didn’t really move
much faster
a rollercoaster
