Proud to be a Boomer

From Vox Popoli:

This epic masterpiece of generational grandiosity is now available for your listening pleasure, courtesy of Boomer Patrol. There is some expressed opinion on Socialgalactic that this may be the best Boomer Patrol track yet, and despite the fact that the 80s KS95 lite pop pomposity of it makes my teeth hurt, I suppose I can, ever so reluctantly, see their point. Especially in light of the Gab Boomer reaction.

…oh please! Why would something as special and unique as the memory of my generation be proud to simply dissolve into a parody, into a common meme…shame on you! Not even funny, DuMB!! I hope Lee Greenwood’s legal team sues the hell out of this!

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.

I’ll gladly stand up, lecture you, and tell you ’bout my youth,

Cause there ain’t no doubt I love myself

God knows that is the truth!

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.

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!

We haven’t recorded the latter. Not sure if we’ll bother.

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
