Cover art for Nomads Revolt lyrics by Mischief Brew

I'm not sure I get the "mothers swearing" line? Is it the last generations hope that the next won't have to give up their ideals?

I don't think that the song is so much about the ineviblilty (sp?) of growing up but a lament about watching friends grow old. (Otherwise why are the newlyweds "going under"?)
