I can remember when I was in high school that song was on the radio. The graduating class that year wrote their own lyrics to and tried to sing it at a pep rally at the end of the year but they ended up cryng more than singing, plus they tried to include EYERYBODY in the class and it went on for ever.
Yeah, when we are young we thing we are going to change the world and we know just what do do. I wish I had a tenth of the knowledge I had back then.
and the hard thing is to look at kids today and they think the same thing.....and there is no way to tell them the truth. There is an unbridgeable gulf between us.
and maybe that is a good thing....they are too young to feel the despair of knowing how hard it is to change anything...that we are just animals and we mean nothing really in the grand scheme of things. Things grind along as they do no matter what we do.
