# Get Off My Lawn **Verse 1:** Seventy-two years I've walked this earth Seen the rise and fall of what things are worth These kids today with their phones in hand Don't know the meaning of a working man They think they're smart with their college degrees But can't change a tire or plant apple trees Never learned to listen, just love to talk About problems they've never faced on their walk **Chorus:** Get off my lawn, with your noise and complaining All that wisdom you refuse to be hearing Think you invented everything new But we built the world that you're walking through Get off my lawn **Verse 2:** They call me "Boomer" like it's some curse But we survived when times were much worse No handouts given back in my day You earned your keep or you walked away They lecture me on how the world should be Expecting everything they have for free Never waited tables, never worked the land But they'll tell you how to take a stand **Second Chorus:** Back in my day, we knew the score Worked for everything, nothing more You want something? Then you pay the price 'Cause life comes at you with a roll of the dice Get off my lawn **Bridge:** Maybe I'm just old and set in my ways But respect was something we learned in those days Respect your elders, learn from their mistakes Don't ask Google for what it takes **Verse 3:** I've watched the seasons turn around Seen friends and family in the ground These young folks think they'll live forever Acting like they're oh so clever But time will teach them what I know That pride and youth, well, they both go And maybe then they'll understand Time deals everyone the same hand **Final Chorus:** Stay off my lawn, but maybe come and visit Ask me 'bout the stories that you're missing You can still invent everything new But you might just learn a thing or two Just stay off my lawn (But pull up a chair and sit a spell)
