[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
People try to put us down
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do seem awfully cold
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
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 to dig what we all say
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby

[Verse 3]
People try to put us down
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do seem awfully cold
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Hope I die before I get old
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)

[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby

[Verse 4]
Why don't you all fade away?
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Don't try to dig what we all say
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation
(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
[Chorus]
My generation
My generation, baby

[Outro]
Talking 'bout my generation
Talking 'bout my generation
Talking 'bout my generation
Talking 'bout my generation
