Generation Gap

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

When you see a little baby sittin' on his mama's lap

Well, it's just the beginnin' of a thing called the generation gap

It's not the difference of age now everybody's talking 'bout

It's all those no no's that make up the generation gap

Well, the grown ups go out now to parties and get stoned

But that's somethin' they won't talk about around the children at home

But they ain't foolin' anybody now 'cause the kids are gonna find it out

Just another reason for the thing called the generation gap

The generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole

You ain't gonna fill it up with all the lies being told

Wah, wah, wah, wah, you'd better clean your house

If you expect to narrow the generation gap

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Daddy says that drinkin' is a sin that we'll have to pay for

Well, then what's that liquor bottle doin' in the dash of his car?

And who's the man that calls mama every time that daddy's out?

Now, do you still wonder, why we still have the generation gap?

The generation gap is a mighty mighty big hole

Now, do you still wonder why we got the generation gap?

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
