Inaugural Blues Lyrics - Singles - Loudon Wainwright Iii

Talkin' 'bout my generation 

People try to put us down 

But they weren't people, just our parents 

Now they're old or not around 

Bill and Hill are our first couple 

Student prez, homecoming queen 

Tipper's cute, Albert's handsome 

The in-crowd is the winning team 

The baby boomers are the bosses 

Rock and roll is here to stay 

Fleetwood Mac got back together 

In separate limos on reunion day 

We got Elvis and the Beatles 

Protested war, now we've won 

Bill's gone gray, Al's slightly balding 

But we are forever young 

Its not quite a coronation 

Feels more like a senior prom 

In D.C., bells ring, there are fireworks 

On TV, we see Baghdad bombed 

Points of light and talk of angels 

Its rhetoric, it must be told 

Im talking about my generation 

Hope we grow up before we're old 

Hope we grow up before we're old, yeah
