Our daddies won the war then they came home to our mom's.
|
They gave 'em so much love that us kids were born.
|
We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula hoops.
|
Then we all bought BMW's and new pick-up 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 us fortunate offspring 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 room.
|
Kids of the Baby Boom.
|
|
Kids of the Baby Boom,
|
We have freedom, we have 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 6 o'clock like robots we turn on the news.
|
And watch those-world countries deal out more abuse.
|
Remember the first man on the moon.
|
Kids of the Baby Boom.
|
|
Kids of the Baby Boom,
|
We have freedom, we have 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 we send to the stars,
|
Our children look at us like we came from Mars.
|
As the farms disappear and the skies 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 have freedom, we have 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.
|
Kids of the Baby Boom.
