BOOMERS [ country-folk ]     Ridin' in on the tail of Bill Halley’s Comet band     Between a second world war and the one in Vietnam     Slipped into the cradle of an all-American boom     Sent rockets past the moon, now we’ll all be seniors soon     We’re the baby boomers, we’re the baby boomers     Zippin’ down the freeway, shoppin’ at the mall     Deficits are growin’ and lately there’s been rumors     There’s far too many of us to take care of us all     The price of livin’s bound to keep on goin' up and up     As we begin to dip in social security’s broken cup     Health care costs are rocketin' way too high to fall     An' it seems most folks in Washington don’t give a damn at all     We’re the baby boomers, we’re the baby boomers     Zippin’ down the freeway, shoppin’ at the mall     Deficits are growin’ and lately there’s been rumors     There’s far too many of us to take care of us all     Wall Street wizards on the lam from a mental institution     Claim private retirement funds, they are the best solution     But when the markets crash we'll be askin' where's the cash     Guess them folks in D.C. must be smokin' Texas hash     Odds are as we get older, we’ll likely get more ill     As we’re farmed out to the mansion up on rest home hill     Will congress pay the piper when all the money’s gone?     Replace them all, start over, while we all still can     We’re the baby boomers, we’re the baby boomers     Zippin’ down the freeway, shoppin’ at the mall     Yeah, deficits are growin’ and lately there’s been rumors     There’s far too many of us to take care of us all     Yeah, some of us have warts an' some have cancer tumors     There’s just far too many of us to take care of us all             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher and signed by the author.  Inquiries: Freedom Tracks Music ~ Records, 292 Trails Circle, Nashville, TN 37214 or requested via eMail.  Essays entitled Revolution and Revolution -- Side B are open copyright and may be reproduced or utilized as often as one likes.
