This epic masterpiece of generational grandiosity is now available for your listening pleasure, courtesy of Boomer Patrol. There is some expressed opinion on Socialgalactic that this may be the best Boomer Patrol track yet, and despite the fact that the 80s KS95 lite pop pomposity of it makes my teeth hurt, I suppose I can, ever so reluctantly, see their point. Especially in light of the Gab Boomer reaction.
…oh please! Why would something as special and unique as the memory of my generation be proud to simply dissolve into a parody, into a common meme…shame on you! Not even funny, DuMB!! I hope Lee Greenwood’s legal team sues the hell out of this!
Proud to be a Boomer
If tomorrow all the things were gone I’d worked for all my life,
Except my 401, my pension, and my second wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars that I am me instead of you.
I’ve got my generation and Bob Dylan and The Who.
I’m proud to be a Boomer ’cause this world was made for me.
And The Beatles were the greatest band in human history.
I’ll gladly stand up, lecture you, and tell you ’bout my youth,
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love myself
God knows that is the truth!
From the Moon landings of NASA, to the war in Vietnam.
From the muddy fields of Woodstock, to protesting the bomb.
From civil rights in Georgia to the riots in LA,
Well there’s pride in every Boomer heart,
It’s time we stand and say:
I’m proud to be a Boomer ’cause this world was made for me.
And The Beatles were the greatest band in human history.
I’ll gladly stand up, lecture you, and tell you you’re no good,
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love myself
You’d Boomer if you could!
