Our daddies won [C]the war and came home to our moms
They gave them so much love that all us kids were born
[F]We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula-hoops
Then we [C]all bought BMW's and brand new pickup trucks
And we [Em]watched John Kennedy die one after[G7]noon
Kids of the baby [C]boom
It was a time of new prosperity in the USA
All the fortunate off springs never had to pay
[F]We had sympathy for the devil and the Rolling Stones
Then we [C]got a little older we found Haggard and Jones
A gene[Em]ration screaming for more [G7]room
Kids of the baby [C]boom
Kids of the [F]baby boom we had freedom we had money
[C]Baby boom here in the land of milk and honey
[Em]Counting our chickens way too [G7]soon
Kids of the baby [C]boom
Now we all can run computers and we all can dance
We all have Calvin Klein written on our underpants
[F]And at six-o'clock like robots we turn on the news
Watch [C]those third world countries deal out more abuse
Remem[Em]ber the first man on the [G7]moon
Kids of the baby [C]boom
Kids of the [F]baby boom we had freedom we had money
[C]Baby boom here in the land of milk and honey
[Em]Counting our chickens way too [G7]soon
Kids of the baby [C]boom
As our lives become a capsule they send to the stars
And our children look at us like we came from Mars
[F]As the farms disappear and the sky turns black
We're a [C]nation full of takers never giving back
We [Em]never stop to think what we con[G7]sume
Kids of the baby [C]boom
Kids of the [F]baby boom we had freedom we had money
[C]Baby boom here in the land of milk and honey
[Em]Counting our chickens way too [G7]soon
Kids of the baby [C]boom
Our [Em]optimism mingles with the [G7]doom
