Big Train|| Against the 70's




Big Train [Eddie Vedder sings backup.]

Big train, big train. Come along and ride my big train.
The big train comin out the tunnel up the track.
It's modern transportation, there's nothing that it lacks.
I don't know where I'm going, I know I ain't comin back.

Come along and ride the big train.

The daughter of the sheriff, the daughter of the judge.
They like just what they're doing, they're never gonna budge.
They're drinking white wine, they're eating chocolate fudge.

Come along and ride the big train.

[words by tony kinman.]

Against the 70's [Eddie Vedder sings lead.]

I asked him if he knew what time he had.
He said he wasn't sure, maybe a quarter past.
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's!
I peered in his eyes as we stood in line just to have a look,
But the pages I found looked like an unbound coloring book.

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's!
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
It won't work for you...

Baby boomers selling you rumors of their history,
Forcing youth away from the truth of what's real today.
The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's!
Stadium minds with stadium lies gotta make you laugh.
Garbage vendors against true defenders of the craft.

The kids of today should defend themselves against the 70's!
It's not reality, just someone else's sentimentality...
Look what it did to us...

(Speakin' as a child of the 70's)

The kids against the 70's...kids against the 70's...
The kids of today should defend themselves against the seventies.
