You take no notice of the words I say

Of the words I say

Whose generation is it anyway?

Just because the words that you hear

Come from yesterday

Doesn't mean that they don’t mean the same,

They still mean the same, still the same

Do, do, do you realize that things just haven’t changed?

Do, do, do you recognize Jumping Jack Flash in pain?

It doesn’t matter if the cap won’t fit, wear it anyway

Simple things that you used to say

Didn’t fade away

Times are changing, but they're still the same

I still can’t explain

Twenty years or more have come and gone

Life is still a pain, still a pain

Do, do, do you realize that things just haven’t changed?

Do, do, do you recognize Jumping Jack Flash in pain?^[2]
