Grandad Songtext
von Barbara

Which way do you vote, Grandad?
Why do you still smoke, Grandad?
Haven′t you heard of the dangers involved?
It isn't clever or bold to disregard all that you see, Grandad
Please listen to me, Grandad

Mine′s a one-off generation
We've answered the call of civilization
Yes, I have to confess I'm probably
The best placed to be running the show
And unless you′re just as modern as me
I hope you don′t take this the wrong way
But I know you won't quite catch what I say


And it′s all so tragic, tragic
I guess we depend on the pensioners, don't we?
Especially the cruel, the most bitter
And loneliest out-of-touch auntie
Nosy old AP
There′s only a moment to go till you're old and you know
You′re as twisted and mean as a crusty old has-been like me

Just listen to this, Grandson
Stop taking the piss, Grandson
Mine is the true generation
And all of your fancy damn ideas are causing me such frustration
And they fill me with indignation

And it's all so tragic, tragic
I guess we depend on the pensioners, don't we?
Especially the cruel, the most bitter
And loneliest out-of-touch auntie
Nosy old AP

There′s only a moment to go till you′re old and you know
You're as twisted and mean as a crusty old has-been
As a crusty old has-been
As a crusty old has-been like me
