"The Kids Will Have To Pay" lyrics

I want to know your definition
It seems you have a lot to say
You come up with all those stupid questions
Who made you the expert anyway

And now they want to cut us off
Because they say we've changed from yesterday
Whatever happened to the good ole days
You'd go to a show, shut up and pay

We admit that we're ignorant
But do you think we give a shit
If they want to see us play
All the kids will have to pay

We've been on tour since 1988
Travel around from coast to coast
Friendly faces always come and go
And all the purists don't participate

We admit that we're ignorant
But do you think we give a shit
If they want to see us play
All the kids will have to pay

Way back when we started all this fuss
No one cared or even gave a fuck
And all these modern critics of today
Were in their pampers, we were getting paid

I want to know your definition
It seems you have a lot to say
You come up with all those stupid questions
Who made you the expert anyway

We admit that we're ignorant
But do you think we give a shit
If they want to see us play
All the kids will have to pay

We admit that we're ignorant
But do you think we give a shit
If they want to see us play
All the kids will have to pay

To pay
To pay
To pay
To pay
