Robyn Hitchcock - Young People Scream lyrics

Young people scream, but the old they don't hear what they say Young people dance, but the old they just get in the way Young people laugh, but the old they just don't wanna hear Because it's all been done before and baby, if it hasn't they don't care Old people, they make young people scream Old people, they make young people lay down and die Old people envy the young all their vigor and rhythm Soon they'll be dead and they want to take everyone with 'em With their leathery skin and their shriveled old underwear too They're stuck in the past and they'll never do anything new, no! Old people, they make young people scream Old people, they make young people lay down and die Young people always get hot when there's something to say Senior citizens got us in this mess today Apples and pears when they're ripe they fall down from the trees Old people cling on to life like some kind of disease Old people, they make young people scream Old people, they make young people lay down and die Old people, they make young people scream Old people, they make young people lay down and die
