Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

My Generation

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

John Cale

Bababababababababa~!

People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Just because we g-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)

My generation, baby

My generation, baby

[Ad lib]

I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin'

'bout my generation)

I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-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!
