| Please clean your plate, dear, The | lord above can | see ya; |
| G | F | C |
| Don't you know people Are | starving in Ko | rea? |
| G | F | C |
| Alcohol and razorblades and | poison and | needles. |
| G | F | C |
| Kindergarten people, they | used 'em they | need 'em. |
| G | F | C |
The | over-indulgent ma | chines were their | children. |
| G | F | C |
There | wasn't a way down on | earth here to | cool 'em, |
| G | F | C |
'Cause they | looked just like humans at | Kresge's and | Woolworth's; |
| G | F | C |
But | decadent brains were at | work to de | stroy. |
| G | F | C |
| Brats in battalions were | ruling the | streets, saying |
| G | F | C |
" | Generation Landslide | close the gap be | tween 'em" |
| G | F | C | G |
And I | laugh to my | self every | man and the | ladies |
| G | F | C | G | F |
Who | never con | ceived of those | billion dollar | ba- | bies. - La-la-da-da-da-da! |
Militant mothers, hiding in the basement, | |
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets. | |
Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high-chairs, | |
While mothers limp burned, birth certificate papers. | |
Dad gets allowance from his sonny the dealer | |
Who's pubic to the world, but involved in high finance. | |
Sister's out 'til five doing banker's son's hours, | |
But she owns a Maserati, that's a gift from his father. | |
Stop at full speed at one hundred miles per hour, | |
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em, | |
But I laugh to myself, every man, and the ladies. | |
Who never conceived those billion dollar babies. La-la-da-da-da-da - yaah! | |
