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

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

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

Our optimism mingles with the doom
