I was looking for a song prompt the other day and @andrea came up with this 'coming of age' idea. I got busy and only got around to writing it today.
Sorry about the mess, all the best
So today is your birthday
and you're finally a man
you're 19 years old son
Anyways here's the plan
You got extreme politics
And deep racial tensions
You got open borders
And insurrections
You got cities in flames
And hyper inflation
You got college grads
With no educations
You got people living
Paycheck to paycheck
Staring at the abyss
S'on you now, what the heck
So anyways
I'm really sorry about the mess
Just fix it son and all the best!
You got Russia China
And a weak Joe Biden
Sick with dementia
Watchin SpongeBob, hidin
You got covid 19
And these vaccine mandates
It's all so abnormal
End it son we can't wait
You got your work cut out
As we pass the baton
Hey, fix Social Security
That's what I'm counting on
Oh and North Korea
With the nuclear bombs
Has some new cruise missiles
That can reach Tuscon
So anyways
I'm really sorry about the mess
Just fix it son and all the best!

Yeah each generation leaves the next one a mess. It sucks.

This poor boy! I love the take on the prompt. Very clever lyrics with a nice smooth flow.
The world is a scary place. I too pray that youths will make the world a better place.
Great lyrics, worth the wait!
