Dennis DeYoung - Boomchild lyrics

Ever young, always cool We had our Chevys and our hula-hoops Watching Bandstand and Mickey Mouse A generation born to Twist And Shout Hey everybody We were the children shining like gold Transistor sister under my pillow Go Johnny go New horizons, new frontiers Sons and daughters of our parents' fears Super highways in stereo Make it faster, louder rock 'n roll We were dreaming, happy endings Ask anyone Expectations, the generation Born to run I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land I'm a boomchild baby, federal case Boomchild baby, just trying to find a place All at once, the dreams had stopped Three bullets fired ended Camelot But we kept searching for the clues We never knew the world could be so cruel People marching, people dying Carrying signs Assa**inations and revelations Blew our minds I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land I'm a boomchild baby, born of the bomb Boomchild baby, revolution gone wrong I saw the picture of the flame Thinking back before the world had changed Some reflections make no sense The fall is always hard from innocence Close the door baby, turn the page I do believe we've finally come of age Hitting thirty just like that I know it's corny but it sure goes fast Hey everybody We are the children mining for gold From the hippies to the yuppies Don't you know I'm a boomchild baby, warn Uncle Sam Boomchild baby, epidemic in the land I'm a boomchild baby, I me my Boomchild baby, still trying to find the light
