Then and Now

When I think about when I was growing up, about what I'll be and how I turn up, I can't help myself to hum to the tune of Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

but nowadays what I'm hearing from kids are this, from PCD ..

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star,
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on tv
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

This is where the thinking gap between generations exists. I used to wonder then, why did my dad think differently than me, now I would be wondering whether my sense of thought would make sense for the future generation? Or would i be labeled as 'elders' thinking as per what I felt then? Only time will tell. Now I'm trying to get rid of the PCD song from my head..
