Proud to be a Boomer

From Vox Popoli:

After hearing Owen's epic performance of Proud to be a Boomer on UATV, I realized that the third line of the chorus needed to be fixed to fit the flow. Or, to be more precise, the punch. It was very amusing to tell him about this, because before I'd finished telling him the second line - I hadn't told him the title or anything about the topic - he laughed and said, "I think I know where this is going!"


Proud to be a Boomer

If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,

Except my 401, my pension, and my second wife.

I'd thank my lucky stars that I am me instead of you,

I've got my generation and Bob Dylan and The Who.


I'm proud to be a Boomer 'cause this world was made for me

And the Beatles were the greatest band in human history

And I'll gladly stand up, lecture you, and tell you to work hard

Cause there ain't no doubt I love myself

Now get out of my yard!


From the Moon landings of NASA to the war in Vietnam

From the muddy fields of Woodstock, to protesting the bomb,

From civil rights in Georgia to the riots in LA,

Well, there's pride in every Boomer heart,

It's time we stand and say:


I'm proud to be a Boomer 'cause this world was made for me

And the Beatles were the greatest band in human history

And I'll gladly stand up, lecture you, and tell you you're no good

Cause there ain't no doubt I love myself 

You'd Boomer if you could!


 At this rate, Owen will have a whole album - a vinyl LP, presumably - to record about Boomers by next week.


My Vaccination

Why don't you all put on a m-m-mask (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

Is that really too m-much to ask? (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

They say it's just an awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

But what's more p-p-precious than the old? (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

This is my vaccination

This is my vaccination baby


Why don't you all just g-g-get your shots (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

My health should b-be foremost in your thoughts (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

Don't worry 'bout x-extermination (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

I just need my v-v-vaccination (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

This is my vaccination

This is my vaccination baby


People try to make us sick (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

They think it's all j-j-just a trick (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

But even if it cause d-devastation (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

I still want my v-v-vaccination (Talkin' 'bout my vaccination)

This is my vaccination

This is my vaccination baby
