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

And we watched John Kennedy die one afternoon

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

Baby boom here in the land of milk and honey
Em G7
Counting our chickens way too soon

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