Against the seventies lyrics

Artist  : Pearl jam 
Song : Against the seventies
 
(Mike Watt - "Ballhog or Tugboat")

I asked him if he knew what time he had
He said he wasn't sure maybe a quarter past
The kids of today should defend themselves
against the seventies
Appeared in his eyes as we stood in line just to
have a look
But the pages I found looked like an unbound
coloring book
The kids of today should defend themselves
against the seventies  (2x)
It's not reality, just someone else's
sentimentality...
It won't work for you...

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history
Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real
today
The kids of today should defend themselves
against the seventies
Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you
laugh
Garbage bandits 'gainst true defenders of the
crowds

The kids of today should defend themselves
against the seventies  (2x)
It's not reality, just someone else's
sentimentality...
Look what it did to us...

Speakin' as a child of the seventies...

The kids against the seventies 
Kids against the seventies
The kids of today should defend themselves
against the seventies  (12x)
