Lyrics:

Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you're just some incapable figure
Thinking you're bigger than me, but you're not yet
You don't know a thing about the youth of today

Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day

And you say
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
And you don't know a single thing about the youth of today

Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day

And you say
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"

And you say
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

And you say
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"

And you say
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more

And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all

very good indeed.

Although it sounds nearly exactly the same as "this is the life"

Love the voice, but I really want to respond to the lyrics with a loud "STFU you stupid kids."

And stay off my lawn.

I'm too old for the lyrics.  A youth of today going through the 4th stage of separation just like the youth of yesterday and the day before. We won't get fooled again. No, no, no ah er maybe.

Reminds me of another, exceptionally fine Scots' songstress, she o' the fine boots and o'ersized jaguar......................

Precisely my thought, maybe a bit huskier but very nice none the less.
The hedgesy guitar work was a nice addition imo.

I want more.

Precisely my reaction. Interesting voice.

There's a live version on youtube - usual dodgy sound, still powerful. Studio version does a much better job with her voice, but I think the sugary backing undermines the last half of the CD version.
