[C] [Am] [C]
The children of the [Em] 80s haven't we grown
[Am]
[D]
Tougher than stone
[C] And the age of [G] our innocence
Is somewhere in [A] the garden
We
[Am]
like the music of the [F]
60s
[Am] The Rolling Stones, the Beatles [F] and the Doors
[Am] Flower children, Woodstock [F] and the War
[Am] But it's getting harder to [F] deceive us
[Am] We don't care that Dylan's back [Bb] from Jesus
Jimi Hendrix is [D] playing [F]
on
We know Janis Joplin [C] was the rose
But all [D] the stuff she put in [G] her arm
We're not alarmed
We are [C] the children of the 80s
[Em] Haven't we grown
As [Am]
a lotus, [D] tougher than stone
[C] And the age of our [G] innocence
Is somewhere [Am] in the garden
Some of us are the sisters and [F] the brothers
Who [Am] take a leather jacket and a single golden [F] earring
[Am] Hang out at discos, rock [F] shows, lose our hearing
[Am] Take uppers, downers, blues and [Bb] reds and yellows
Our brains are [D] turning [F] to jello
We are looking forward [C] to the days
[F] When we live inside of a [C] purple haze
And the [D] salvation of [G] the soul
Is a rock and roll
We [C] are the children of the 80s
[Em] Haven't we grown
[Am] We're tender as a lotus, [D] tougher than stone
[C] And the age of our [G] innocence
Is somewhere [Am] in the garden
Recently have you looked [F] in our [Am] eyes
Maybe we're your conscience [F] in disguise
[Am] We're well informed and we [Bb] are wise
Please stop telling [Am] [F] us lies
We know [C] Afghanistan's invaded
[F] And we know El [C] Salvador's dictated
[F] But our lives have [C] just begun
[F] We are the warriors of [C] the sun
With the [D] golden boys and the [G] golden girls
For a better world
We [C] are the children of the [D] [Em] 80s
Haven't we grown
[Am] We're tender as a lotus, [D] tougher than stone
[C] And the age of [G] our innocence
Is somewhere, somewhere [Am] in the [A] garden
[Am] [N]
