Generation Gap

1. World wars great depressions leave young minds
with big impressions shaping heart times
glued together with silly putty
held together with erector-sets

2. Magnetized to television sets
turn your radio dial to haunted

3. Little boys dreamed as they seemed frightened
war time conquerers and heros screamed
nothing is how it seems halloween
nothing is how it seems halloween
terrible wails and ghosts cry save me

4. They don't know where to go does it snow
in eyes of widowed mother's wide eyes
sly bastard children sing nursery
rhymes whispered into fairy filled ears

They stood erected in sun set skies
Blazon silhouettes tall testaments

Beautifully creepy - visible yet shadowy.

It seems history tends to repeat itself because of generations that grow up between great and desructive wars. These same generations won't listen to the older people that lived it--ignoring them as if they are worthless.
