We read in the papers
We hear on the air
Of killing and stealing
And crime everywhere.
We sigh and we say
As we notice the trend
“This young generation!
Where will it all end?”
But can we be sure
That it’s their fault alone?
That, maybe most of it
Isn’t really our own?
Too much to spend;
Too much idle time;
Too many movies
Of passion and crime;
Too many books
Not fit to be read;
Too much of evil,
In what they hear said.
Too many children
Encouraged to roam
By too many parents
Who won’t stay at home.
Kids don’t make the movies
They don’t write the books
That paint a gay picture
Of gangsters and crooks.
They don’t make the liquor,
They don’t run the bars,
They don’t make the laws
And they don’t build the cars.
They don’t make the drugs,
That addle the brain;
It’s all done by older folk,
Greedy for gain.
Thus in so many cases
It must be confessed
The label “Delinquent”,
Fits older folk best.
