Boomer’s Lament
Davis, Greenwald, Mowrey C 2020

Children of the world war boom, we rode the magic bus
We had the pill and the Big Chill and we pillaged Toys-are-us
We lived the dream, and skimmed the cream, it really was a ball
But we took the earth for granted, and we missed the wake-up call

We had it all, We had it all
It was never in the plan
To wreck the future but Hey Man ...

We rode that escalator to the very top
Sorry kids ... the good times all been spent
It was one hell of a party, so sad it had to end
now we sing the Boomer’s lament,
Boomer’s lament
The Boomers’ Lament

Now the Oceans rising and the Amazons on fire
We never guessed our appetities would lead to scenes so dire
And so we cry our feeble tears and say thanks, it’s been swell
Cause we thought we’d be dead and gone before it went to hell

We had it all, we had it all
It was never in the plan
To wreck the future, but Hey Man,
We rode that escalator to the very top
Sorry kids…. The good times all been spent
It was one hell of a party, so sad it has to end
And now we sing the Boomer’s lament
Boomers’ Lament
The Boomer’s lament

As we wave from the sinking ship we know our sins were major
Have fun picking up the cans from our 65 year rager.

Cause, we rode that escalator to the very top
Sorry kids…. The good times all been spent
It was one hell of a party, so sad it had to end
And now we sing the Boomer’s lament
Boomer’s Lament
The boomer’s lament
The Boomer’s lament
