You Can't Blame The Youth
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
How a cow flies over the moon
You teacher used to learn in school
How a dish run away with a spoon, so
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youth of today
You teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus
And you said he was a very great man
You used to teach about Marco Polo
And you said he was a very great man, so
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youh, not at all
When every Christmas comes around
You buy the youth a fancy toy
When every Christmas comes around
You buy the youth a fancy toy, so
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youh, not at all
you teacher used teach about Pirate Hawkins
you teacher used teach about Pirate Morgan
And you said he was a very great man
you teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus
And you said he was a very great man
you teacher used teach about Marco Polo, so
You can't blame the youth
You can't fool the youth
You can't blame the youh of today
