Pete Townshend
There's no easy way to be free.
Pete Townshend
The facts don't always reveal the truth, but the truth always reveals the facts.

People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Hope I die before I get old.
