"My Generation"

Lyrics by: Pete Townsend

People try to put us d-down TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
just because we get around. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Things they do look awful c-c-cold. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
I hope I die before I get old. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
This is my generation,
this is my generation, baby.

Why don't you all f-fade away? TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Yeah, don't try and dig what we all s-s-say. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
I'm not tryin' to cause a big s-s-sensation, TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
It's my generation,
it's my generation, baby.

Why don't you all f-fade away? TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Yeah, don't try d-dig what we all s-s-s-s-s-say. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Not tryin' to cause a big sensation, TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Just talkin' 'bout my g-generation. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Yeah, my generation,
this is my generation, baby,
generation, generation.

People try to put us d-down TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
just because we g-g-g-get around. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
Things they do look awful c-c-cold. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
I hope I die before I get old. TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
It's my generation,
this is my generation, baby,
ma-ma-my generation.

TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION Talkin' about
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION yes, my generation, baby
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION yes, my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION yes, my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION yes, my generation,
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION it's my generation
