Kids Of The Baby Boom

Our daddys won the war and then they came home to our moms
 They gave them so much love that all us kids were born
 We all grew up on Mickey Mouse and hula-hoops
 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 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
 Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
 Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
 Counting our chickens way too soon
 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
 Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
 Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
 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
 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
 Kids of the baby boom, we had freedom, we had money
 Baby boom, here in the land of milk and honey
 Counting our chickens way too soon
 Kids of the baby boom
 Our optimism mingles with the doom
 Kids of the baby boom
