Battle Hymn of the Baby Boomers
Lyric by Bill Dyszel
(To the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic)

We baby boomers just got older than the President.
We're all staring in the mirror wondering where the decades went.
While we still think we're as young and hip as characters from RENT!
Those days have passed us by!
HOLY CRAP! We're getting older!
We've pissed our youth away!

Were desperately maintaining our desirability,
But there's only so much you can do with plastic surgery,
Cause today were only "young" if you compare us to a tree!
Our youth has passed us by!
HOLY CRAP! We're getting older!
We've pissed our youth away!

We were born into an age of infinite prosperity,
And we never saved a nickel. We just spent incessantly.
Now we've postponed our retirement til the age of 93,
If nothing else goes wrong!
HOLY CRAP we're getting older!
We've pissed our youth away!

NOTE: The music and lyrics are completely clear for broadcast. I'd welcome live performance if anyone wants to do this lyric set to the Wilhousky arrangement of the Battle Hymn - it's written with that in mind. My only requirement is that you credit me and tell me when and where you're performing it.

  • @MrGreatLakesBuffalo Boomers ruined this country.

  • @MilanTbay

    You've got your history wrong. The "greatest" generation are those who were children during the Depression and fought WWII. They don't use credit,' they save everything. They are the parents of the boomers.

  • @kiddizzy123 Beleive it or not, the generation born from 1985 to 2005 (coming of age now) shows great similarities with their GI grandparents. If you are in your teens or 20s like me we may be the next "greatest" generation. If you are interested read "the Fourth Turning." A great book that ties history with generations.
