We're the children of the [Ebm] 80s, haven't we grown?
[Abm] We're tender as a lotus, and we're [Db] tougher than stone.
[B] And the age of [Gb] our innocence is [Abm] somewhere in the garden.
We like the music of [E] the 60s.
[Abm] We think that era [E] must have been nifty.
[Ebm] Flower children, Woodstock [E] and the war.
[Abm] The Rolling Stones, the [E] Beatles and the door.
[Abm] The dirty scandals, cover [E]-ups and more.

Jimi Hendrix is [E] playing on.
We know Janis Joplin was the [B] rose.
And [E] we also know what she put up [B] her nose.

Don't be alarmed.
We [B] are the children of the [Ebm] 80s, haven't we grown?
[Abm] We're tender as a lotus, and we're tougher than stone.
[B] And the age of [Gb] our innocence is somewhere [Abm] in the garden.
Some of us are the sisters [E] and the brothers.

[Abm] A leather jacket and a single [E] golden earring.
[Abm] We hang out at rock shows, discos, [E] lose our hearing.
[Abm] Put tattoos all up and [E] down our [Abm] thighs.
Do everything our parents would [E]
despise.
[Abm] Take uppers, downers, blues [A] and reds and yellows.
Our brains are turning [E] to jello.
We think that [B] life was overrated.
[E] Loneliness was [B] underestimated.
We are looking forward to the [B] days.
[E] When we live inside of a purple [B] haze.

[Abm] We're tender as a lotus, and we're [Db] tougher than stone.
[B] And the age [Gb] of our innocence is [Abm] somewhere in the garden.
Some of us may offer a [E] surprise.
[Ebm] Recently have you looked in [E] our eyes?
[Abm] Maybe we're your conscience in [E] disguise.
[Abm] We're well informed, and we are [A] wise.
Please stop [E] telling us lies.
We know [B] Afghanistan's invaded.
[E] We know [B] Bolivia's dictated.
[E] We know [B] America's inflated.
We see the [Abm] bloody swords and the broken shields.
