[Verse 1]
People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Refrain]
This is my generation!
This is my generation, baby

[Verse 2]
Why don't ya all fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try and dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not tryna cause a big sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talking 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Refrain]
This is my generation!
This is my generation, baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Why don't ya all fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try and dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not tryna cause a big sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talking 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
[Refrain]
This is my generation!
This is my generation, baby
My, my, my, my generation, baby

[Verse 1]
People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Refrain]
This is my generation!
This is my generation, baby
My, my, my, my generation, baby

[Outro]
Talking 'bout my generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Talking 'bout my generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Talking 'bout my generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Talking 'bout my generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
