[ Kids Of The Baby Boom von Bellamy Brothers ]



Intro: F#m   D

D
Our daddys won the war and came home to our moms
D
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

D
It was a time of new prosperity in the USA
D
All the fortunate offsprings never had to pay
G
We had sympathy for the devil and the Rolling Stones
        D
Then we got a little older, we found Haggard and Jones
       F#m
A generation screaming for more room
            D
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


D
Now we all can run computers and we all can dance
D
We all have Calvin Klein written on our underpants
G
And at six-o'clock, like robots, we turn on the news
        D
Watch those third world countries deal out more abuse
       F#m
Remember the first man on the moon
            D
Kids of the baby boom


**Chorus


D
As our lives become a capsule they send to the stars
D
And our children look at us like we came from Mars
G
As the farms disappear and the sky turns black
             D
We're a nation full of takers, never giving back
       F#m
We never stop to think what we consume
            D
Kids of the baby boom


**Chorus


Tag:
F#m                           A
Our optimism mingles with the doom
            D
