Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
There are a couple of ‘grumpy old man’ tracks on this CD, so here’s one to counterbalance things. It’s certainly what I believe.
Lyrics
D Am4 Kids of today They show no respect Em Gm If they don't obey their elders then society'll be wrecked Everything I see Is going to the dogs They'll just be free to wallow in the mess like hogs I look around and it gives me the bird Don’t they know that they should be seen and not heard Let’s get Back to the good old days When things were perfect in every way break D2 Fmaj7 Well I'm getting old you might have expected G6Bb To see those kind of views reflected Respect is something we all need I've learned But it must work both ways that's what I've discerned Obedience is of a different hue Not something we should feel obliged to do If kids don't question then the world can't change Hopeless stagnation is what we'd arrange Repeat break Part II D G A Kids gotta think D G A Think for themselves D A You know it's their future CG It don't have to suit ya We're on the brink Of something else There is no mystery Tomorrow you'll be history Think for themselves Finale interweaves break with 'kids gotta think' etc then repeat end section ?
