They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

The Freedomland of the seventies

You say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
G F Em
Beat poetry on Amphetamines
C Em
I say...
F

[Chorus]
C G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I can play almost anything

They say I'm too young to love you

They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
G F G
By the colors like they forgot to read
Em
I think we're like fire and water
C
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
Am
You're up, I'm down
Asus2 Em
You're blind, I see
C Em
But I'm free
F
I'm free
[Chorus]

Well, my boyfriend's in the band

C * Em *
I'm talking about my generation

Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it
Am * Bm * D * Em *
You can beat it, beat it, baby

You never liked the way I said it
G *
If you don't get it, then forget it
Am * Bm * D * C
Cause I don't have to fucking explain it
[Chorus]

Well, my boyfriend's in the band
F C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get high on hydroponic weed

And my jazz collection's rare
F C
I get down to beat poetry
F C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
F Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Instrumental]
C G F C F C F Em
[Chorus]

Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool
