Battle Hymn of the Baby Boomers
My Boomer Tips
Battle Hymn of the Baby Boomers Lyric by Bill Dyszel (To the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic)
We baby boomers just got older than the President. We're all staring in the mirror wondering where the decades went. While we still think we're as young and hip as characters from RENT! Those days have passed us by!
We're getting older! Desperately maintaining our desirability, But there's only so much you can do with plastic surgery, Cause today were only "young" if you compare us to a tree! Our youth has passed us by!
We're getting older! We were born into an age of infinite prosperity, And we never saved a nickel. We just spent incessantly. Now we've postponed our retirement til the age of 93, If nothing else goes wrong!
NOTE: The music and lyrics are completely clear for broadcast. I'd welcome live performance if anyone wants to do this lyric set to the Wilhousky arrangement of the Battle Hymn - it's written with that in mind.
My only requirement is that you credit me and tell me when and where you're performing it. These outstanding blogs and websites currently link to this video. Please check them out, too! www.investmentpostcards.com
Yeah, I know. Fascinating how they came up with ADD to describe us. But that’s another story.
Baby boomers are the worst generation ever.
I’m too young to remember whether we are or not. But we’re all trying, I promise!
Buyer’s remorse on the 60′s and 70′s! All we did right was dolphin-free tuna….Thanks, Bill, for putting it all in perspective.
No shit, but I hope their kids learn about the stupidity of their parents and become the new “Greatest” generation, but that will never happen.
Generation X is a lost cause those guys worship Reagan. My generation the millenials will be fighting for drinking water.
Needless to say, humanity is fucked.

A short attention span is nothing to be proud about. Most issues are complex and require critical thought and evaluation.
@MilanTbay
You’ve got your history wrong. The “greatest” generation are those who were children during the Depression and fought WWII. They don’t use credit,’ they save everything. They are the parents of the boomers.
I love the boomers. We will medically experiment on them. Then when they are out of money, we’ll sell their fucking RV and homes and stock silver and gold for our kids, cause they fucked up the dollar. All I’m buying is silver and gold as the golden age of the boomer has fucked our future. I WILL ENJOY WATCHING THE BOOMERS BE RAVAGED BY OLD AGE. HA. I will enjoy every minute of it. Where you bought an RV…I’m stocking metal. That will be my retirement…not your fucking stocks = 0
old boomer here says that this video is hilarious!
Thank you, Mrs. Brown. We’re all in this together!
Thanks, Diana!
Why thank you! I sold my RV and moved into a box.

You get rounds of applause from me, a gen Yer..I look up to the people who lived (and beat) the Great Depression & WW2 not the “Love Generation”. Hell No! But its quite fun if you say that to a BB and they get pissy
Thank you.
@MrGreatLakesBuffalo Boomers ruined this country.
Love it!
Gracias!
Thanks!
Hahaa, this is great. I think the boomers could agree with you on this one….I’m sure they hate themselves just as much as we do
@CordDragonzord Thanks for watching!
This is great.
@22barb123 Thanks! And I enjoyed Acapellics Anonymous! Keep ‘em coming!
Nice job! I especially like the message you slipped in about ‘Vertical Vietnam’ as several US officers called it before the planned neocon surge. Obama was sucking up to that crook Karzai on a podium 2 days ago. Added this to my Baby Boomers comic playlist.
