You know we read in the papers And we hear on the air Of killing and stealing And crime everywhere
And we sigh and we say As we notice the trend This young generation Where will it end
But can we be sure That it's their fault alone I mean, that maybe a Part of it isn't our own
Are we less guilty Who place in their way Too many things That lead them astray
Like too much money to spend And too much idle time Too many movies The kind of passion and crime
Too many books, man That are not even fit to be read Too much evil in what they hear said
And too many children Encouraged to roam By too many parents Who won't even stay at home
(Don't blame it on the children)
Well, man, kids don't make the movies And they don't write the books And they don't go out And paint gay pictures Of gangsters and crooks
They don't make the liquor And they don't run the bars And they don't make the laws And they don't buy the cars
They don't peddle junk that Well, that addles the brain That's all done by older folks, man Greedy for gain
Delinquent teenagers, oh, man How quick we do condemn The sins of a nation And then go and blame it on them
But the laws that are blameless The Savior makes known Now you tell me who is there Among us to cast the first stone
For in so many cases It's sad but it's true That the title Delinquent Fits older folks too
