"MY GENERATION"

 © 2014 Oliver John-Rodgers (OJR) 

I don’t wanna be a part

Of my generation 

Aw, man, the frustration 

When they force me to be 

And I don’t wanna live 

Inside my phone’s screen 

Hey, man, do you know what I mean? 

Hey, kid, do you know what I mean? 

I’m talkin’ that old-fashioned livin’ 

Take me back 

Take me back to 1964 

I think 

Oo I think I’d like it more 

I don’t wanna be a part 

Of this selfie situation 

Aw, but I’m a part of the equation 

And I don’t wish to be 

I wanna let my freak flag fly 

I wanna boogie and get high 

I wanna wash the world in light 

Talkin’ a little peace and love, that’s right 

Hey, don’t that sound so nice? 

Take me back 

Take me back to 1964 

I think 

Oo I think I’d like it more 

I don’t wanna be a part 

Of my generation! 

But it’s just the situation 

I guess there ain’t no use in complainin’ 

I’m just sayin’ 

I can’t seem to fit all my thoughts into one hundred forty 

Characters, oh no! 

Or some emoji 

Do you even know me, man? 

I’m a little lonely man 

That’s it, that’s it! 

Take me back 

Take me back to 1964 

I think 

Oo I think I’d like it more
