[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)

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby

[Verse 2]
Why don't you all fade away?
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Don't try and dig what we all say
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not tryin' to cause a big sensation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm talkin' 'bout my generation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation, baby
[Bridge]
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby

[Verse 3]
Why don't you just fade away?
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Don't try dig what we all 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)

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation, baby

[Verse 4]
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)
[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation

[Verse 5]
People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Things they do look awful cold
I hope I die before I get old

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation
My generation, baby
My generation

[Outro]
People try to put us down
