OUR DADDIES
WON THE WAR
THEN THEY CAME HOME
TO OUR MOMS
THEY GAVE 'EM
SO MUCH LOVE
THAT ALL US KIDS
WERE BORN
WE ALL GREW UP
ON MICKEY MOUSE
AND HULA-HOOPS
THEN WE ALL BOUGHT
BMW'S
AND BRAND NEW
PICKUP TRUCKS
AND WE WATCHED
JOHN KENNEDY DIE
ONE AFTERNOON
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
IT WAS A TIME
OF NEW PROSPERITY
IN THE USA
ALL THE FORTUNATE
OFFSPRINGS
NEVER HAD TO PAY
WE HAD SYMPATHY
FOR THE DEVIL
AND THE ROLLING STONES
THEN WE GOT
A LITTLE OLDER
WE FOUND
HAGGARD AND JONES
A GENERATION
SCREAMING
FOR MORE ROOM
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
WE HAD FREEDOM
WE HAD MONEY
BABY BOOM
HERE IN THE LAND OF
MILK AND HONEY
COUNTING
OUR CHICKENS
WAY TOO SOON
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
NOW WE ALL
CAN RUN COMPUTERS
AND WE ALL CAN DANCE
WE ALL HAVE
CALVIN KLEIN
WRITTEN ON OUR
UNDERPANTS
AND AT SIX-O'CLOCK
LIKE ROBOTS
WE TURN ON THE NEWS
WATCH THOSE
THIRD WORLD
COUNTRIES
DEAL OUT MORE ABUSE
REMEMBER
THE FIRST MAN
ON THE MOON
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
WE HAD FREEDOM
WE HAD MONEY
BABY BOOM
HERE IN THE LAND OF
MILK AND HONEY
COUNTING
OUR CHICKENS
WAY TOO SOON
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
AS OUR LIVES
BECOME A CAPSULE
THEY SEND TO THE STARS
AND OUR CHILDREN
LOOK AT US
LIKE WE CAME
FROM MARS
AS THE FARMS
DISAPPEAR
AND THE SKY
TURNS BLACK
WE'RE A NATION
FULL OF TAKERS
NEVER GIVING BACK
WE NEVER STOP
TO THINK
WHAT WE CONSUME
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
WE HAD FREEDOM
WE HAD MONEY
BABY BOOM
HERE IN THE LAND OF
MILK AND HONEY
COUNTING
OUR CHICKENS
WAY TOO SOON
KIDS OF THE BABY BOOM
OUR OPTIMISM MINGLES
WITH THE DOOM
