Consider this...

You know we read in the paper and we hear on the air

Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere

And we sigh and we say as we notice the trend

This young generation, where will it end

But can we be sure that it's their fault alone

I mean that maybe a part o...f it isn't our own

Are we less guilty who place in their way

Too many things that lead them astray



Like too much money

Too much idle time

Too many movies of passion and crime

Too many books that are not even fit to be read

Too much evil in what they hear said

and too many children encouraged to roam

By too many parents who won't even stay home



Well! Kids don't make the movies

and they don't write the books

They don't paint gay pictures of gangsters and crooks

They don't make the liquor and they don't run the bars

They don't make the laws and they don't buy the cars

They don't make the junk that addles the brain

That's all done by older folk, greedy for gain



Delinquent teenagers? How we condemn

The sins of a nation and blame it on them

But the laws that are blameless the Savior makes known

Now you tell me who's here among us to cast the first stone

In so many cases its sad but its true

The title DELINQUENT Fits older folk too

So Don't blame it on the children!
