D
DEvery generation gets fooled again
And Aevery generation is the same
And its Bmno good saying its not in your name
  G'cause Ait is in your name
And Dthis generation is to blame
And Athis generation is the same
And I'm Bmsorry that I can't join in any more
GBut I've been let down Atoo many times beGfore
Oh Ayeah we mean it
  DWe hate the Bmkids
So Gdance dance dance to this Aradio toDnight
I Dwanted to believe in rock'n'roll stars
I Awanted to believe in contemporary art
I Bmwanted to aspire to a higher path
  GBut Athere's no higher path
It was Dever thus, and it was ever you
And it's Aever us because we'll do it too
And we're Bmsorry to the all the disinherited meek, and
We're Gsorry for this con-trick that we Aplay on the people
  GOh Ayeah we mean it
  DWe hate the Bmkids
So Gdance dance dance to this Aradio toDnight G  A  
And Dnobody ever comes alive
And the Ajournalists clamour round glamour like flies
And Bmboys who should know better grin and get high
GWith fat men who once Amet the MC5
And Dno one discusses what they don't understand
And Ano one does anything to harm the brand
And this Bmgift is an illusion, this isn't hard
GAbsolutely anyone can Aplay the fucking guiGtar
Oh Ayeah we mean it
  DWe hate the Bmkids
GUseless children genuflecting
ATo the idols who exploit them
GOpen mouthed and arsed expecting
ASome god to anoint them
GDance Dance Dance to this Aradio toDnightG  A  
D G A
D G A
And there's Dalways a monk to get set on fire
And there's Aalways a crackhead charismatic liar
And there's Bmalways a depth to which you can aspire
And there's Galways a teenager Adue to expire
DPop had a beginning, it grew and was tended
ANow it is rotten. Let it be ended.
Let Bmevery hopeless case that every drummer befriended,
GEvery seven-inch that every Astudent intended
Every Dgroupie and ligger and identity seeker
Every Adruggy and drinker and every loudspeaker
Be Bmdone with, be piled up, tossed, set alight
GNo more music, thank you and goodnight.

Chords in this song · guitar

Every generation gets fooled again

And every generation is the same

And its no good saying its not in your name

G A

'cause it is in your name

And this generation is to blame

And this generation is the same

And I'm sorry that I can't join in any more

G A G

But I've been let down too many times before

Oh yeah we mean it

D Bm

We hate the kids

G A D

So dance dance dance to this radio tonight

I wanted to believe in rock'n'roll stars

I wanted to believe in contemporary art

I wanted to aspire to a higher path

G A

But there's no higher path

It was ever thus, and it was ever you

And it's ever us because we'll do it too

And we're sorry to the all the disinherited meek, and

G A

We're sorry for this con-trick that we play on the people

G A

Oh yeah we mean it

D Bm

We hate the kids

G A D G A

So dance dance dance to this radio tonight

And nobody ever comes alive

And the journalists clamour round glamour like flies

And boys who should know better grin and get high

G A

With fat men who once met the MC5

And no one discusses what they don't understand

And no one does anything to harm the brand

And this gift is an illusion, this isn't hard

G A G

Absolutely anyone can play the fucking guitar

Oh yeah we mean it

D Bm

We hate the kids

Useless children genuflecting

To the idols who exploit them

Open mouthed and arsed expecting

Some god to anoint them

G A D G A

Dance Dance Dance to this radio tonight

D G A

And there's always a monk to get set on fire

And there's always a crackhead charismatic liar

And there's always a depth to which you can aspire

G A

And there's always a teenager due to expire

Pop had a beginning, it grew and was tended

Now it is rotten. Let it be ended.

Let every hopeless case that every drummer befriended,

G A

Every seven-inch that every student intended

Every groupie and ligger and identity seeker

Every druggy and drinker and every loudspeaker

Be done with, be piled up, tossed, set alight

No more music, thank you and goodnight.
