Kids of the Baby Boom
The Bellamy Brothers
Written By David Bellamy

C
Our daddies won 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
        C
Then we all bought BMW's and brand new pickup trucks
       Em                                G7
And we watched John Kennedy die one afternoon
                 C
Kids of the baby 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
        C
Then we got a little older we found Haggard and Jones
      Em                        G7
A generation screaming for more room
                 C
Kids of the baby boom
 
            F
Kids of the baby boom we had freedom we had money
C
Baby boom here in the land of milk and honey
Em                            G7
Counting our chickens way too soon
                 C
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
F
And at six-o'clock like robots we turn on the news
      C
Watch those third world countries deal out more abuse
     Em                       G7
Remember the first man on the moon
                 C
Kids of the baby boom

Repeat #3


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
        C
We're a nation full of takers never giving back
   Em                             G7
We never stop to think what we consume
                 C
Kids of the baby boom

Repeat #3

    Em                        G7
Our optimism mingles with the doom
                 C
Kids of the baby boom
