Holsapple Some people work very hard And some people just die tryin' And if I had something to believe in I'd be right beside them dyin'. Some people get it in the end And some people just don't get it And other people have too much to do at home And so they say forget it. And as it occurs to me These modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls are in it with us It's not just here and now It's all along the world These modern boys and girls, will they forgive us? And what do you say When someone asks you what to expect? Smile and be brave And always be prepared for them to send their regrets.
Some people never amount to much And some don't amount to any And any roll of coins that you might have around the house Just lacks a penny, yi-ah! And as it occurs to me Well, these modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls are in it with us It's not just here and now It's all along the world These modern boys and girls, will they forgive us? Yes, these modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls These modern boys and girls are in it with us It's not just here and now It's all along the world And these modern boys and girls will they forgive us? I hope so.
