[Verse 1] Grandma saved her pennies, bought her house for twenty grand Now it's worth a million, wealth she never planned While her grandkids rent forever, paychecks stretched too thin The system tips toward silver hair, where does fairness begin? [Chorus] From the family table to tomorrow Share the burden, ease the sorrow Those who gained the most should give So the next generation has room to live Cabinet choices, kitchen wisdom Rebuild the future, bridge the schism [Verse 2] Pension funds grow fatter while the young pay student debt Healthcare costs keep climbing, fiscal balance we forget Retirement subsidies flowing to the wealthy and secure While children face the consequences, struggling to endure [Chorus] From the family table to tomorrow Share the burden, ease the sorrow Those who gained the most should give So the next generation has room to live Cabinet choices, kitchen wisdom Rebuild the future, bridge the schism [Bridge] Housing inflation's windfall Shouldn't fall on tiny shoulders Time to ask the beneficiaries To help the younger builders [Verse 3] Policy makers need that instinct parents know by heart Protect the vulnerable children, give them a fair start National security crumbles when the young can't get ahead Fiscal fairness across the ages keeps our future fed [Chorus] From the family table to tomorrow Share the burden, ease the sorrow Those who gained the most should give So the next generation has room to live Cabinet choices, kitchen wisdom Rebuild the future, bridge the schism [Outro] Intergenerational justice Starts with courage to adjust this Family values, policy tools Fairness is the golden rule
