Children Of The 80's Lyrics - Singles - Joan Baez

We're the children of the eighties haven't we grown 

We're tender as a Lotus and we're tougher than a stone. 

And the age of our innocence is somewhere in the garden. 

We like the music of the sixties 

It's The Rolling Stones 

The Beatles and The Doors. 

Flower children 

Woodstock and the war. 

Ah 

but it's getting harder to deceive us. 

And we don't care if Dylan's gone to Jesus 

Jimmy Hendrix is playing on. 

We know Janis Joplin was the Rose 

ah 

but all the stuff she put in her arm. 

We are not alone. 

We're the children of the eighties haven't we grown 

. . .

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Some of us are the sisters and the brothers 

We take a leatherjacket and a single golden earring. 

Hang out at Discos 

Rock shows 

lose our hearing 

Take uppers 

downers 

blues and reds and yellows. 

Our brains are turning to jello 

We are looking forward to the days when we live inside of a purple haze. 

And the salvation of the soul is Rock and Roll 

We are the children of the eighties haven't we grown 

. . . 

Recently have you looked in our eyes 

Maybe with your conscience in disguise. 

We're well informed and we are wise 

please stop telling us lies. 

We know Afganistan's invaded and we know El Salvador's dictated 

Photos 

Ah 

but our lives have just begun 

we are the warriers of the sun. 

We're the golden boys and the golden girls 

For a better world. 

We are the children of the eighties haven't we grown 

. . .
