We, who know responsibilities.
Laugh at the young that knows bankruptcy.
Well, we don't laugh.
But feel they never comprehended many things.
It's a generation gap.



We, who was taught to go out and earn.
Install these values in our child to learn.
They won't hear statements that other loves to speak.

Like I want my childrens to have.
What I didn't have?
Why teach them easy?
When self respect comes from personal strugles.
It's a generation gap.

It's like receiving your first pay check.
You honestly can profess.
It's yours.
And yours alone.

But watch the pride of a smile upon your parents face.
While they know you earned your way.
And your pay.
While taking in truth.
They installed hard work into you.

We, who know?
It's okay to speak your mind.
But you have limits on company time.

Except childrren's today just speak out.
Ask many parents.
Why the kids are out of the house?
It's a generation gap.

But one thing parents teaches you more.
That you will adapt too.
It's the phase.
As long as you in my house.
You follow my rules.

Now, ask yourself?
Hadn't you spoken those exact words too.
It's a matter of fact.
