Old dogs can’t be taught new tricks
New cliches or politics
And when you ask him, He gets mad
Give him old song with a story line
Smokie bar and jar of moonshine
And when you ask him, He gets sad
Ok Boomer, tell me again
One ring of fire, how will it end
Only the truth, you can defend
Ok Boomer, ……tell me again
Dad killed guys with swastikas
Now kids die in Florida
And when you ask him, He gets mad
Times did change for the better
Now we’re our own worst debtors
And when you ask him, He gets sad
Chorus
Distant drums of discontent
No love shown to immigrants
And when you ask him, He gets mad
He has not given up hope
It’s in his nature to vote
And when you ask him, He gets sad
Chorus
