Battle Hymn of the Baby Boomers Lyric by Bill Dyszel (To the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic) We baby boomers just got older than the President. We're all staring in the mirror wondering where the decades went. While we still think we're as young and hip as characters from RENT! Those days have passed us by! HOLY CRAP! We're getting older! We've pissed our youth away! Were desperately maintaining our desirability, But there's only so much you can do with plastic surgery, Cause today were only "young" if you compare us to a tree! Our youth has passed us by! HOLY CRAP! We're getting older! We've pissed our youth away! We were born into an age of infinite prosperity, And we never saved a nickel. We just spent incessantly. Now we've postponed our retirement til the age of 93, If nothing else goes wrong! HOLY CRAP we're getting older! We've pissed our youth away! NOTE: The music and lyrics are completely clear for broadcast. I'd welcome live performance if anyone wants to do this lyric set to the Wilhousky arrangement of the Battle Hymn - it's written with that in mind. My only requirement is that you credit me and tell me when and where you're performing it.

Jan 4, 2010 - Thanks! I find the accuracy painful, myself, but whaddya gonna do?
cinemasolo Says:
Jan 4, 2010 - Thanks for commenting! Speaking as a boomer, you definitely shouldn't trust us. We were the ones who said "Don't trust anyone over 30." We knew even then.
cinemasolo Says:
Jan 4, 2010 - Thank you, I shall. I'm still waiting for Soylent Avocado and Soylent Harvest Gold.

Jan 10, 2010 - Many of us Generation Xers are only hoping to know the prosperity that the Boomers have. Thanks for this great video, i love it, great acting too.

Jan 13, 2010 - @RealArcalian So very true plus we got the bill as well all $100+ trillion of it.

Jan 13, 2010 - @solarcollector123 I'm at the top of the X generation, or is it the bottom. Most of my friends are in the Y generation, as in "Y do I have to pay for it." Sadly, my grandparents are called "the greatest generation" by politicians. Because they sold us into indebted servitude. :-(
MilanTbay Says:
Jan 13, 2010 - There is a point, as in the words of Sharron Stone, "I will not be ignored"!!!! Gen X has a much shorter attention span. Don't fall for fluff, if its sounding like BS ask them for the Cole notes or "Get to the quick" If they can't, tell them to quit the BS,
RealArcalian Says:
Jan 13, 2010 - Yeah, I know. Fascinating how they came up with ADD to describe us. But that's another story.
Joe402 Says:
Jan 16, 2010 - Baby boomers are the worst generation ever.
cinemasolo Says:
Jan 18, 2010 - I'm too young to remember whether we are or not. But we're all trying, I promise!

Jan 20, 2010 - Buyer's remorse on the 60's and 70's! All we did right was dolphin-free tuna....Thanks, Bill, for putting it all in perspective.

Jan 21, 2010 - No shit, but I hope their kids learn about the stupidity of their parents and become the new "Greatest" generation, but that will never happen.
Joe402 Says:
Jan 21, 2010 - Generation X is a lost cause those guys worship Reagan. My generation the millenials will be fighting for drinking water.
jasonextreme Says:
Jan 21, 2010 - Needless to say, humanity is fucked.
kiddizzy123 Says:
Jan 25, 2010 - @MilanTbay A short attention span is nothing to be proud about. Most issues are complex and require critical thought and evaluation.
kiddizzy123 Says:
Jan 25, 2010 - @MilanTbay You've got your history wrong. The "greatest" generation are those who were children during the Depression and fought WWII. They don't use credit,' they save everything. They are the parents of the boomers.

Feb 4, 2010 - I love the boomers. We will medically experiment on them. Then when they are out of money, we'll sell their fucking RV and homes and stock silver and gold for our kids, cause they fucked up the dollar. All I'm buying is silver and gold as the golden age of the boomer has fucked our future. I WILL ENJOY WATCHING THE BOOMERS BE RAVAGED BY OLD AGE. HA. I will enjoy every minute of it. Where you bought an RV...I'm stocking metal. That will be my retirement...not your fucking stocks = 0

cinemasolo Says:
Feb 4, 2010 - Why thank you! I sold my RV and moved into a box.
cinemasolo Says:
Dec 17, 2009 - Thanks! I don't think the song says anything that most of us boomers don't already know too well.
