PlayStation Generation (2007)

Sung to My Generation by The Who

I wrote this song for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day as a fun way for kids to learn what people were doing in Homeland Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (S&T).

First, The Who:

My Generation (1965)

And here’s PlayStation Generation; I sang each verse; the kids sang each chorus (“Talkin’ bout my generation!”) Sorry, I don’t have the video.

PlayStation Generation (2007)

Grown-ups say we’re growin’-up dummmb; 

Talkin’ bout my generation! 

They say our brainnns, are in our thummmbs.

Talkin’ bout my generation!

But forrrr-eign kidz ain't showin’ us upppp

Talkin’ bout my generation!

’Cause video gaaames are growin’ us upppp.

PlayStation Generation!

That’s my PlayStation!

PlayStation Generation, Baby!

(Two kids dance on DDR mats for 26 seconds.)

So take a chill pill, lose your feeears:

PlayStation Generation!

We’ll still be kids, for several yeeears;
