Don't get me wrong i know you've done your timefrom Inchon to Khe Sanh to the Quaker Oats line,And yes sir, you've got me by more than a few years might learn something, if i shut up and open my earsand i know, that my less than great generation ain't savvyand worldy like you.So with this beer hoisted allow me to offer some gratitude long overdueThanks for the culture of thought sanitized by Christians, and Bigots, and Reaganitesthanks for your silence as witch hunts and red squadsdragged down your neighbors like dogs.Thanks for the Cold War and COINTELPROfor Vietnam, Nukes, and for talk radioAnd your wide-eyed credulity stretched beyond reasontoward con-men and quislings, and cheap demagogues.Thanks for your idle consensus as pitchmensold assholes as presidents, lapdogs to rich menfor letting the joyless and spiteless decide right from wrongfor everyone else.Thanks for abandoning all that you taught,about fair play and freedom of speech and of thought.For this world of shit we inherit from stewardswho couldn't be bothered to think for themselves.
