Hay Mom and Dad
It’s been 40 years
Since you’ve been born
Now its time we change gears
You were to set the stage
And prepared the cast
You were to direct
For the torch to be passed
And now in this age
As we begin a new
You were to train us
So we could surpass you
Of course there have been mistakes
Cuz you all were blind
You destroyed the world
That you were to leave behind
Pushed on by greed alone
You didn’t know
That that was your job
So you didn’t show
The devotion
That was meant to raze
The heirs of this earth
That you set ablaze
But it’s all good
We know our task
And unlike you
Our head is not in our ass
And we the newgeneration
Will fix what is done
Then teach the way
For the children to come
