Next Generation (1976)

See the little boys and girls of 1997

A generation on its way to Heaven

Or it could be Hell they're headed for

They've asked for so little and received much more

Like colorless clouds they cross the sky

Uniform patterns of likeness waiting to die

What have they done that was so wrong?

Possessing a dream and carrying it along

Play the same games all your life

Corrupt your begotten children, desert your wife

It's the time you have been chosen for

Your brother's homosexual, your sister's a whore

Going places you don't want to see

The children like what they're doing to me

And they can't spell, write or read

All desire to commit an evil deed

Don't you read books anymore?

The voices of forgotten lore

And do your parents send you away?

Find something to do! Go out and play!

My friends don't go to school

And who broke the golden rule?

They walk, talk and look the same

My brother's dead for all his fame

And I liked what was going on

Permitted it to happen for so long

We liked what we had become

Stupid, illiterate and practically numb
