My Generation Lyrics

by Patti Smith

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)

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e77336-patti_smith~my_generation_lyrics.html ]
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


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!
