(There are many walking parts between chords - mainly anytime it goes
from G down to Em, and going from G up to C into the chorus and during the
talking parts at the end.)
Did you know that there are people who would put us down for no other
reason than the simple fact that we get around
[Intro]

(This also follow the first chorus starting on proud)
Well my oGld man says the WCoodstock generGation
Found a wCay to make this nGation
Open Emup it's eyes and tAake a look arDound
And he sCays my generaDtion, aGin't good for nCothing
GI can think of sComething, so I tDhought I'd Cwrite it Gdown
[Chorus]
  So here's to hCair gel, hanging out at the hGealth spa
  Using coDndom sense and watching CLA DLaw
  Here's to dCrum machines, stDoned-washed jeans
  GCredit cards and Emfax machines
  ABig bow-headed chicks and frat gDuys
  Wearing fAorty dollar tye died T-shirts and Dbig bold paisley ties
  Here's to lCiving off dad as Dlong as you can
  GBlending in with the Emcrowd
  Oh Cmy generaDtion, Cmy generDation, Cmy generDation should be Gproud
GWe were raised up in the hCallowed hGalls
Of haClf a million shGopping malls
And tEmhere ain't any price Athat we're too proud to Dpay
We'll buy Canything from dDiet Sprite, too G1,000 points of Clight
GWell I'll aCdmit we're not that Dbright, but I'm Cproud any Gway
[Chorus]
  So Chere's to hair gel, hanging Gout at the health spa
  Using coDndom sense and watching CArsenio DHall
  Here's to dCrum machines, stDoned-washed jeans

  Wearing fAorty dollar tye died T-shirts and Dbig bold paisley ties
  Here's to lCiving off dad as Dlong as you can
