They read in the papers and hear on the air
Of stealing and killing and crime everywhere
They sigh and say as they notice the trend, 
'This young generation, when will it end? '
But can they be sure that it's our fault alone, 
That apart of the problem they should claim as their own? 
Are they less guilty who place in our way, 
Objects and subjects that lead us astray? 
Too much hating, not enough love
Maybe we should give peace a little shove
Too much money and too much idle time
Too many movies of passion and crime
Too many books not fit to be read
Too much evil in what we hear said
Too many children encouraged to roam
Too many parents who never stay home
We don't make the movies or publish the books
We don't paint mean pictures of gangstas and crooks
Drugs and alcohol, they trouble our brain
They're done by older folk who are greedy for gain
Delinquent teenagers, oh how you condemn
The sins of a nation and you blame it on them
By the laws of the blameless, the savior made known~
Who shall cast the first stone? 
For in so many cases
It's sad but it's true
The title DELINQUENT fits older folk too
