I read the books in school   Books that serve as my country's tools   No mention of our guilty scores,   The Dresden bombs of the second war   And when was it that they killed JK?   Hey man, that's before my day   But 60 Minutes had a show last night   Something's still not sitting right      I feel betrayed   What's the matter with the world today?   You sigh and say   What the hell's with these kids these days?   It's getting late, quit fucking around      Want our trust, give us the truth   See some trust, when we see some proof   Want our trust, give us the truth   Give me trust and give me the truth      You're in the bar and you watch TV   Can't believe just what you see   Angry kids in a cold dark world   Is that a boy, or is that a girl?   So your kid's disillusioned by nine   Could've swore you had a better time   Soda shops and the drive-in, too   But did your parents have to lie to you?      I feel betrayed   What's the matter with the world today?   You sigh and say   What the hell's with these kids these days?   It's getting late, quit fucking around      Want our trust, give us the truth   See some trust, when we see some proof   Want our trust, give us the truth   Give me trust and give me the truth      I feel betrayed   What's the matter with the world today?   You sigh and say   What the hell's with these kids these days?   It's getting late, quit fucking around      Want our trust, give us the truth   See some trust, when we see some proof   Want our trust, give us the truth   Give me trust and give me the truth      I don't claim to have the fix   I'm too dumb for politics   But every answer stems from the heart   There's always chance for a better start   Truth and trust has taken a kick   So much phoniness it makes me sick   Were Holden Caulfield alive today   He'd overdose before he could say      I feel betrayed   What's the matter with the world today?   You sigh and say   What the hell's with these kids these days?   It's getting late, quit fucking around      Want our trust, give us the truth   See some trust, when we see some proof   Want our trust, give us the truth   Give me trust and give me the truth      Want our trust, give us the truth   See some trust, when we see some proof   Want our trust, give us the truth   Give me trust and give me the truth
