G 
Please clean your plate dear 
    F              C 
The Lord above can see you 
G                          F            C 
Don't you know people are starving in Korea 
G                            F          C 
Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles 
G                         F              C 
Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them 
    G                F                 C 
The over-indulgent machines were their children 
      G                    F             C 
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them 
            G 
'Cause they looked just like humans 
   F            C 
At Kresge's and Woolworth's 
    G                       F         C 
But decadent brains were at work to destroy 
G                        F          C 
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets 
       G 
Saying generation landslide 
F                 C 
Closed the gap between them 
      G          F             C           G 
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies 
    G        F            C              G    F 
Who never conceived of us billion dollar ba - bies 

Militant mothers hiding in their basements 
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets 
Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs 
While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers 
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer 
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance 
Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours 
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father 
Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour 
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em 
But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies 
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
