Here they come, looking so alive

They're here for business but it's all none of your jive

Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes

You'd better make way for the young folks

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah They say yes and you say no

They ask you why and you close the door

My old friend I thought you knew by now

You can't do that to the young folks, oh no, no, no, no You might not like it but I've got to tell you

Gotta tell you, you'd better make way for the young folks

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah They're marching with signs, they're standing in lines

Yeah, protesting your right to turn out the light in their lives Here's the deal, accept it if you will

They're coming on strong, it's their time to live

My old friend I thought you knew by now

You gotta make way for the young folks

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You may not like it but I've got to tell you

Gotta tell you, woah

You'd better make way, you gotta make way

You'd better make way for the young folks, oh yeah You may not like it but I've got to tell you
