Loudon Wainwright Iii - Inaugural Blues lyrics

Talkin' 'bout my generation People try to put us down But they weren't people, just our parents Now they're old or not around Bill and Hill are our first couple Student prez, homecoming queen Tipper's cute, Albert's handsome The in-crowd is the winning team The baby boomers are the bosses Rock and roll is here to stay Fleetwood Mac got back together In separate limos on reunion day We got Elvis and the Beatles Protested war, now we've won Bill's gone gray, Al's slightly balding But we are forever young It's not quite a coronation Feels more like a senior prom In D.C., bells ring, there are fireworks On TV, we see Baghdad bombed Points of light and talk of angels It's rhetoric, it must be told I'm talking about my generation Hope we grow up before we're old Hope we grow up before we're old, yeah
