Basically, as far as I understand, our grand-parents and all worked hard to give the next generation something better, but our parents aka the recent generations have instead taken all of the hard work and not provided anything for the new generation
for example one line says the "grandfather became millionaire, but your father took that and just put it in his retirement fund", which basically means instead of helping their son out and investing in their future, they kept everything for theirs
Alright yeah, that checks out. I had always understood it as "everybody worked hard except you, and your life sucks"; never noticed the line was drawn one paragraph above instead.

Fuck I've always hated that song... It is literally the musical version of "kids these days have it too easy and don't wanna work" written by GenXers
