The first line came to me while at work but I had had John Mayer in mind but the end product doesn't sound John Mayer inspired at all.
Verse 1 - I wish my generation would appreciate
I wish they'd learn to communicate
I wish we made better decisions
Chorus 1 - But we're not to blame
the ones before took it easy on us
cause the ones before them gave them a hard time
looks like it back fired
Verse 2 - It's rare to see courtesy
when I do I'm surprised
loud mouths and they're rude
(repeat chorus 1)
Verse 3 - It seems like they're growing up faster
kids having kids
then they're stuck in a rut and don't know what to do
Chorus 2 - I guess we're the only ones to blame
the ones before tried their best
and the ones before them did all they could
and now there's nothing we can do
the last line i sing this note that i REALLY like. It's not even anything special it was one of those in the moment OH I'M GONNA DO THAT! and worked out well
