I read the books in school
Books that serve as my country's tools
No mention of our guilty scores
The Dresden bombs of the second war
When was it that they killed JK?
Hey man, that's before my day
60 minutes had a show last night
Something's still not sitting right
I feel betrayed
What's the matter with the world today?
You sigh and say
What the hell's with these kids these day?
It's getting late, quit fucking around - Want our trust, give us truth
See some trust, when we see some proof - Want our trust, give us truth
Give me trust and give me the truth, oh yea
You're in the bar and you watch TV
Can't believe just what you see
Angry kids in a cold dark world
Is that a boy, or is that a girl?
So your kid's disillusioned by nine
Could've swore you had a better time
Soda shops and the drive-in, too
But did your parents have to lie to you?
I feel betrayed
What's the matter with the world today?
You sigh and say
What the hell's with these kids these day?
It's getting late, quit fucking around - Want our trust, give us truth
See some trust, when we see some proof - Want our trust, give us truth
Give me trust and give me the truth, oh yea
I feel betrayed
What's the matter with the world today?
You sigh and say
What the hell's with these kids these day?
It's getting late, quit fucking around - Want our trust, give us truth
See some trust, when we see some proof - Want our trust, give us truth
Give me trust and give me the truth, oh yea
I don't claim to have the fix
I'm too dumb for politics
Every answer stems from the heart
Always chance for a better start
Truth and trust has taken a kick
So much phoniness it makes me sick
Were Holden Caulfield alive today
He'd overdose before he could say
I feel betrayed
What's the matter with the world today?
You sigh and say
What the hell's with these kids these day?
It's getting late, quit fucking around - Want our trust, give us truth
See some trust, when we see some proof - Want our trust, give us truth
Give me trust and give me the truth, oh yea
