I met a member of Generation X (1)
"Hey, what's in with you kids these days?
I'm so old I'll probably never have heard of it"
And then he replied "Purple Haze." (2)
Now I know that we should separate our Garbage
The environment'll give us thanks
But it's going too far when teenagers recycle
Their parents' adolescent angst.
Do you want to save the world?
Well don't recycle.
Monday night is 50's night;
Tuesday night is 60's night;
Wednesday night is 70's night;
Friday night is Thursday night.
Paul McCartney once said the Sex Pistols
Were another band playin' Chuck Berry;
At the time I thought, "You boring old wanker",
Now I think it's pretty scary.
Do you want to save the world?
Well don't recycle
[An alternative verse which appears on the single version]
What's so good about the 60's
That we gotta keep rewinding the clock
You know the best thing about the 60's?
They'd never heard of classic rock
