Here they come lookin' so alive
They're here for business but it's all none of your jive
Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
You better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

They ask you why, and you close the door
My old friend, I thought you knew by now

Oh, no no no no
You might not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
You better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
They're marchin' with signs
They're standin' in lines, yeah
Protestin' your right
To turn out the light
In their lives
Here's the deal, accept it if you will
They're comin' on strong, it's their time to live
My old friend, I thought you knew by now
You gotta make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah)
You may not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
Oh, you better make way, you gotta make way,
You better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah
You may not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
Oh, you better make way, you gotta make way,
You better make way for the young folks
Oh oh, yeah
