Weird Al Yankovic - When I Was Your Age Lyrics
Let me tell you sonny... let me tell you straightYou kids today aint never had it toughAlways had everything handed to you on a silver plateYou lazy brats think nothings good enoughWell, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees belowWe had to walk buck ***** through forty miles of snowWorked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a centHad to sell me internal organs just to pay the rentWhen I was your age. when I was your ageWhen I was your age. when I was your ageLet me tell you something, you whiny little snotTheres something wrong with all you kids todayYou just dont appreciate all the things youve gotWe were hungry, broken and miserable and we liked it fine that wayThere were seventy three of us living in a cardboard boxAll I got for christmas was a lousy bag of rocksEvery night for dinner, we had a big ol chunk of dirtIf we were really good, we didnt get dessertWhen I was your age. when I was your ageWhen I was your age. when I was your ageDidnt have no telephone, didnt have no fax machineAll we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of stringDidnt have no swimming pool when I was just a ladOur neighbors mseptic tank was the closest thing we hadDidnt have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nailsDidnt have nintendo, we just poured salt on snailsDidnt have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glassDidnt have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grassWhats the matter now, sonny, you say you dont believe this junk?You think my storys wearin kinda thin?I tell you one thing, I never was such a disrespectful punkBack in my time, we had a thing called disciplineDad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelveThen hed get too tired and hed make us whoop ourselvesThen hed chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brainAnd let me tell ya, junior, you never heard me complainWhen I was your age. when I was your ageWhen I was your age. when I was your age
