    Lyrics
    [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.

    Heinekin, fuck that shit!

    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
