Song lyrics
People, people, people, people 
People try to put us down (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
Just because we get around (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
Things they do look awful cold (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I hope I don't die before I get old (talkin' 'bout my generation) 

My generation 
My generation, baby 

Why don't you all fade away (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
And don't try to dig what we all say (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I'm just talkin' 'bout my generation (talkin' 'bout my generation) 

My generation 
My generation, baby 
My generation 

Why don't you all fade away (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
And don't try to dig what we all say (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I'm not trying to cause a b-big sensation (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I'm just talkin' 'bout my generation (talkin' 'bout my generation) 

My generation 
My generation, baby 
My generation 
My generation, baby 

People try to put us down (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
Just because we get around (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
Things they do look awful cold (talkin' 'bout my generation) 
I hope I don't die before I get old (talkin' 'bout my generation) 

My generation 
My generation, baby 
My generation 
My generation, baby 
My generation 
My generation, baby 
My generation 
My generation, baby 

People try to put us down

And by the way BejewledEmpress she isn't a hippo and if you hate her so much why are you wasting your time writing about her? Oh and people who listen to Hilary Duff aren't F*ckers.

to hdrocks_duh_l: I will try as much as possible not to bash you because of ignorance. The fact that you don't know the original song shows that you don't know The Who which shows that you don't know great music. Go to some music store and buy one of their albums, a best of, or best yet, Tommy.

As for the song, I cannot believe she would do this. Changing that line and adding all the 'baby' stuff made this f*** off to the elders into some teen pop crap. Please save these great songs... don't remake them

Seriously people, Listen to the origional My Generation by THE WHO.

Here's an excerpt from Rolling Stone magazine where My Generation was chosen as the #11 song of all time

"...The song was not a youth-mutiny anthem -- at first. It was a Jimmy Reed-style blues, reflecting [Pete] Townshend's fears about the impending strictures of adult life, famously captured in the line "Hope I die 'fore I get old." " 'My Generation' was very much about trying to find a place in society..."

That's how the original song (you know, the good one? not this piece of mierda) goes!

AWFUL JOB! Terrible job on covering this song....

What is the world coming to? Hilary-i-sing-sugary-pop-songs-Duff CAN'T cover "My Generation", it has NOTHING to do with HER generation. And although I, sadly, am a part of her generation, I'm the counter-culture, where she is clearly the "culture". She obviously doesn't understand ROCK ideals, that's proven by the changed line "Hope I (DON'T) die before I get old." Hands up whoever sees that CHANGING this one line DESTROYS the meaning of the song.

Right. Non of you. Have I walked into Ray Bradbury's world, or something?

Okay, lets dumb this down a little:

Hilary Duff dozn't understand teh song. Shes a pop singer and shes fooling all of u peepel by covering this rock anthem. U can't c the problem cus u never heer reel musik. I used 2 think that doing pop covers of ROCK CLASSICS wuz good, but now I C it destroys EVERYTHING the greats (Lennon, Mercury, May, Daltry, Townsend, Bowie - oh, whats the use, you don't know who they are anyways) worked 2 build. U need to take off ur blinders cuz theres real, good musik out there, but ull miss it all if u believe Hilary Duff is brilliant :cheery:

End dumbing down. GOD that was painful.

and by the way, if you want to say "If u don't like Hilary Duff what r u doing here?", I came specifially to see what Hilary had done to our song. And I write this specifically to educate you, not that it'll work. Just do us all a favour; if you know ANYONE that enjoys classic rock, do NOT play them this song. I think they might cry.

Excuse me, mercuryphoenix, but would you please

GET A LIFE?!?!?

We understand that you may not like Hilary and that you wish to educate us all in the ways of your ideas and tastes in music, but you need to understand that we love Hilary and that she is brilliant in our eyes!

Oh, yeah. And may I inform you that I HAVE been exposed to 'the greats' and they are wonderful! However, just because I enjoy the classics doesn't mean that I'm not open to new/remade creations!

Why don't you do everyone a favor and broaden your range of musical tolerance!
