Kids today-they're all the same
All call themselves-some crazy name
All those drugs-they can't be sane
All that noise-affects their brains

Can't get no jobs-can't get no careers

With safety pins-stuck through their ears
And it's such a crime
How they waste their time

They've all gone Beat Crazy
Beat Crazy
And if the Russians ever come
They'll all be beating bongo drums

So who'll defend-in World War III
Where could we turn-where would they be
And it's such a crime
How they waste their time

They can't get nowwhere
They've all gone Beat Crazy
Beat Crazy
