G                C             G
Well my old man says the Woodstock generation
         C                G
Found a way to make this nation
     Em                A            D
Open up it's eyes and take a look around
        C            D      G              C
And he says my generation, ain't good for nothing
G               C               D          C        G
I can think of something, so I thought I'd write it down

[Chorus]
                C                            G
  So here's to hair gel, hanging out at the health spa
          D                       C  D
  Using condom sense and watching A  Law
             C               D
  Here's to drum machines, stoned-washed jeans
  G                Em
  Credit cards and fax machines
  A                               D
  Big bow-headed chicks and frat guys
           A                                 D
  Wearing forty dollar tye died T-shirts and big bold paisley ties
             C                D
  Here's to living off dad as long as you can
  G                    Em
  Blending in with the crowd
     C        D     C       D      C       D               G
  Oh my generation, my generation, my generation should be proud


We were raised up in the hallowed halls
Of half a million shopping malls
And there ain't any price that we're too proud to pay
We'll buy anything from diet Sprite, too 1,000 points of light
Well I'll admit we're not that bright, but I'm proud any way

[Chorus] (Same as above, only we're watching Arsenio Hall now and the
my generation line gets changed with the stops.)

  Oh my generation, my generation, my generation got
    HOPE I DIE BEFOD  I GET OLD
  My generation, my generation, my generation
    STRIKE A POSE THED 'S NOTHING TO IT
  My generation, my generation, my generation should be proud

[Outro]
G  C  G  C  G  Em  A  D  D  G
(this starts on proud)
