WAY BACK IN 1987
When I was a kid adults And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But... Now that I've reached the ripe
old age of thirty-something, I can't help but look around and notice the
youth of today. You've got it so damn easy I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a damned Utopia And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't even know how good you've got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet - we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves! And there was no e-mail! We had to actually write somebody a letter with a pen! And then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in a mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! And there were no MP3's or You wanted to steal music, you had to go to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Try sticking an LP
Album under your jacket, buddy Or we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and screw it all up! You want to hear about hardship? We didn't have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal! And we didn't have fancy
Caller ID Boxes either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was - it could be your boss,
your mom, a collections agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!
You just had to pick it up and take your chances, mister And we didn't have any fancy Just like
LIFE When you went to the And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 20 channels and there was no onscreen menu!! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! And there was no D'ya hear
what the hell I'm saying We had to wait ALL WEEK,
you spoiled little bastards That's exactly what I'm talking about! You You're spoiled, I swear to God!
You guys wouldn't last five minutes back in 1987!

used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard
things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five
miles to school every morning uphill both ways through year 'round
blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their
one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average despite
their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they
worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving
to death!
Napsters! 
Sony Playstation videogames with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We
had the Atari 2600!
With games like Space Invaders and Asteroids and the graphic sucked!
Your guy was a little square!
You had to use your imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever! And you
could never win the game, the game just kept getting harder and faster
until you died!
movie theater there was no such thing as stadium seating!
All the seats were the same height!
A tall guy sat in front of you, you were screwed!
Cartoon Network! You
could only get cartoons on Saturday morning...
kids today have got it too easy!
