My Generation

Song byGreen Day
in AlbumKerplunk!

[B.J. whispers "I think I can do Who..." way down in the mix]

Well, people try to put us down

Talkin' bout my generation

Just because we get around

Talkin' bout my generation

The things they do look awful cold

Talkin' bout my generation

I hope I die before I get old

Talkin' bout my generation

My generation

Why don't you all just fade away

Talkin' bout my generation

And 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 generation

Talkin' bout my generation

My generation.

Break it, freak that shoot!

Why don't you all just fade away

Talkin' bout my generation

And 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 generation

Talkin' bout my generation

My generation

Talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation

This is my generation, baby
