You're full of spit and you never bend
I'm a little slower but I know how to win
You're young and strong, you're virile and thin
You're starting down a road that I've already been
It's a generation gap
Yea; a generation gap
That's where we're at
You run for a mile without losing your wind
I take a little longer but I get to the end
You think you know it all but you haven't lived
You'll learn to a take a little and give
It's a generation gap
Yea; a generation gap
Let me show you where it's at
It's a generation gap
Yea; a generation gap
Let me tell where we're at
You think you're standing tall pushing against the wind
But it's a futile effort that you'll never win
In time you'll learn to take a step back
Let the winds die before you attack
It's a generation gap
Yea; a generation gap
You gotta live a few years to really learn where it's at
You think you gotta it coming just because you were born
I know I have to earn it cause that's the real world
They give you a trophy just because you showed up
You'll find that only winners get the golden cup
It's a generation gap
Yea; a generation gap
You gotta live a few years to really learn where it's at
I've been around the block about 1,000 times
Been lost more than once trying to find the line
Take it from a man that's been there before
You have to of been around to really know where it's at
It's a generation gap; but you just won't listen
Yea; a generation gap; I'll never get through to you
