Ever young, always cool
We had our Chevys and our hoola hoops
Watchin' Bandstand and Micky Mouse
A generation born to twist and shout
Hey everybody
We were the children shining like gold
Transistor sister under my pillow
Go Johnny Go
New horizons, new frontiers
Sons and daughters of our parent's fears
Super highways in stereo
Make it faster, louder, rock 'n' roll
We were dreamin' happy endings
Ask anyone
Expectations, the generation
Born to run
I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam
Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land
I'm a boomchild baby, federal case
Boomchild baby, just tryin' to find a place
All at once, the dreams had stopped
Three bullets fired ended Camelot
But we kept searchin' for the clues
We never knew the world could be so cruel
People marchin', people dyin'
Carryin' signs
Assinations and revelations
Blew our minds
I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam
Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land
I'm a boomchild baby, born of the bomb
Boomchild baby, revolution gone wrong
I saw the picture of the flame
Thinking back before the world had changed
Some reflections make no sense
The fall is always hard from innocence
Close the door baby, turn the page
I do believe we've finally come of age
Hittin' thirty just like that
I know it's corny but it sure goes fast
Hey everybody
We are the children mining for gold
From the hippies to the yuppies
Don't you know
I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam
Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land
I'm a boomchild baby, I, me, my
Boomchild baby, still tryin' to find the light
