Did you know that there are people who would put us down for no other
reason than the simple fact that we get around

My Generation, part 2, verse 3, chapter 4, Jackson 5 make me sick

Intro: G C G C G Em A D (2x)

Well my o[G]ld man says the W[C]oodstock gener[G]ation
Found a w[C]ay to make this n[G]ation
Open [Em]up it's eyes and t[A]ake a look ar[D]ound
And he s[C]ays my genera[D]tion, a[G]in't good for n[C]othing
[G]I can think of s[C]omthing, so I th[D]ought I'd w[C]rite it d[G]own

Chorus:
So here's to h[C]air gel, hanging out at the h[G]ealth spa
Using co[D]ndom sense and watching [C]LA [D]Law
Here's to d[C]rum machines, st[D]oned-washed jeans
[G]Credit cards and [Em]fax machines
[A]Big bald-headed chicks and frat [D]guys
Wearing f[A]orty dollar tye died T-shirts and [D]big bold paisley ties
Here's to l[C]iving off dad as [D]long as you can
[G]Blending in with the [Em]crowd
Oh [C]my genera[D]tion, [C]my gener[D]ation, [C]my gener[D]ation should be [G]proud

We were raised up in the hallowed halls
Of half a million shopping malls
And there ain't any price that we're too proud to pay
We'll buy anything from diet Sprite, too 1,000 points of light
Well I'll admit we're not that bright, but I'm proud any way

Chorus: (Same as above, only we're watching Arsenio Hall now and the
my generation line gets changed with the stops. }

Oh my generation, my generation, my generation got
HOPE I DIE BEFORE I GET OLD
My generation, my generation, my generation
STRIKE A POSE THERE'S NOTHING TO IT
My generation, my generation, my generation should be proud

Outro: G C G C G Em A D D G (this starts on proud)
