[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C
I found a picture of my mother
in her bell-bottom jeans
F
flowers in her hair two
fingers up for peace
C
In that Polaroid she
smiled A grown up baby boomer
F
Maybe momma walked down
the wild side
walking on the moon
Dm G C
What will they say about us
[Verse 2]
C
I’ve heard stories about my grandpa
child of the great depression
F
how growing up broke creates
and deep and dark impression
C
He sits in a rocker
down at the veterans home
F
even when I got to visit
he still rocking all alone
Dm G C
What will they say about us
[Chorus 1]
F
they call us generation lost or
generation greed or they
C/E
connect the generation
to a plasma screen or a
Bb Am
generation why enough
is not enough
Dm C/E
Or maybe they’ll
G C F
call us generation love
C F
Generation love
[Verse 2]
C
We are children of divorce
Victims of dysfunction
F
We spell check of course
And gps the proper junction
C
We got it “pretty good”
Shifting all the blame
F
But I think I hear an old song
Calling my new name
Dm G C
Generation love
[Chorus 2]
F
not generation lost or
generation greed or they
C/E
connect the generation
to a plasma screen or a

generation why enough
is not enough

call us generation love
