Younger Generation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Why must every generation think
their folk[Dm]s are square
And no [G]matter where their heads are
they know mo[C]m's ain't there
'Cause I swore when I was small
that I'd remem[G]ber [Dm]when
I [G]knew what's wrong with them
that I was smaller [C]then

[Verse 2]
[C]
Determined to remember
[G]all the cardinal [Dm]rules
Like [G]sun showers are legal
[Em]grounds for [C]cutting school
I know I have forgotten [G]maybe one [Dm]or two
And I [G]hope that I recall them all
be[C]fore the baby's due
And I [Dm]know he'll [Am]have a
[G]question [C]or two[G][C]
Like [F]"hey

[Verse 3]
[G]Pop, can [C]I go ride [G]my [Am]zoom
It goes [Dm]two hundred [G]miles an hour
[C]suspended [G]on bal[Am]loons
And [Dm]can I put [G]a droplet of this
[C]new stuff [G]on [Am]my tongue
And ima[Dm]gine frothing dragons while
you sit and wreck your lungs"
[C]And I must be perm[Em]issive,
under[Am]standing of the younger gener[G]ation

[Verse 4]
[G]
Then [C]I'll know that all
I've learned my [G]kid assumes
[Dm]And all [G]my deepest worries
must be his [C]cartoons
And still I'll try to tell them him all
the thing[G]s I[Dm]'ve done
Re[G]lating to what he can do
when [C]he becomes a man
And [Dm]still he'll stick his [G]fingers in [C]the fan
And [F]"Hey,

[Verse 5]
[G]Pop,
my girl[C]friend's [G]only [Am]three
She's got [Dm]her [G]own videophone and she's
[C]taking [G]L.S[Am].D.
[Dm]And now that we're best [G]friends
she wants to [C]give [G]a bit [Am]to me
But [Dm]what's the matter Daddy,
how come you're [Am]turning [Dm]green?
Can it [F]be that you can't
live up to your dreams?"
