Oh, kids these days
They don't have respect
They just talk on those cellphones
And listen to their tape cassettes

It's what that teacher said
With disgust in every breath
His students listened carelessly
They were easily unimpressed

He said it with such conviction
Whether truth or fiction
And it went around and' round
They'd reinvent the wheel
Watch it spin and marvel
At the breakthrough they had found

Another war to end all wars
Depressions are no more
Gravity works on occasion
It won't always bring you to the floor

A Spanish questionnaire
Conquest through love affair
A trillion here or there
I'm sure it'll work with a little prayer

He said it with such conviction
Whether truth or fiction
And it went around and' round
They'd reinvent the wheel
Watch it spin and marvel
At the breakthrough they had found

They'd reinvent the wheel
Watch it spin and marvel
At the breakthrough they had found

He said it with such conviction
Whether truth or fiction
And it went around and' round
They'd reinvent the wheel
Watch it spin and marvel
At the breakthrough they had found

They'd reinvent the wheel
Watch it spin and marvel
At the breakthrough they had found
