Woodstock

The kids aren’t right and it's your fault 
You laid down and let evil sprinkle it’s salt
Leaving our futures to rot 
Tell me know was it worth the cost 

Your worthless years of senseless pleasure 
Have caused harm to great to measure 
With your feeble frame can you even fix the fissure 

Ignored the truth 
In your youth 
To good, you gave the cold shoulder
I hope that you see it now that your older
I hope you speak truth and justice to your granddaughter 
And teach her how to be a good mother 
And to edify her brothers
Help heal others 
And be a beacon of truth

Generations 
Blinded by temptations 
Have ripped the fabric of many nations 

And it’s up to both young old to restore 
The country’s gaping bloody hole
