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 you want to cut us off
Because you said we've changed from yesterday
What ever 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

They'll pay, they'll pay
They'll pay, they'll pay
