Kids of the Baby Boom

	  		{Intro} F#m D 

D 
Our daddys won the war and came home to our moms 
 
They gave them so much love that all us kids were born 
G 
We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula-hoops 
        D 
Then we all bought BMW's and brand new pickup trucks 
       F#m                              A 
And we watched John Kenedy die one afternoon 
            D

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 
 
{Chorus} 
            G 
Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money 
D 
Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey 
F#m                           A 
Counting our chickens way too soon 
            D 
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 
 
{Chorus} 
 
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 
 
{Chorus} 
 
{Tag} 
F#m                           A 
Our optimism mingles with the doom 
            D
