People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my 
generation)
I don't need your fucking shit! (Talkin' 'bout my 
generation)
I hope I die because of it (Talkin' 'bout my 
generation)

Why don't you all f-f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my 
generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-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, baby
My generation, baby

Oh, so young
I'm so goddamn young!
I'm so young
I'm so goddamn young!
Oh, so young
I'm so goddamn young!

We created it - let's take it over!
