Kids of the Baby Boom Written By: David Bellamy Performed By: The Bellamy Brothers Transcribed By: Jeff Gary [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 Kids of the baby boom 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 Kids of the baby boom -Jeff Gary- jwgary@mail.utexas.edu http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jwgary
