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
