Verse:
C
We were the Reagan kids
F G C
Our heroes didn't work like our daddies did
F G C
They dazzled us with TV through sleepy lids
G
We followed hulking maniacs to prozac nation
F (G)
"You can be anything, just get your education"
C
We were good Christian kids
F G C
We went to church on sunday mornings like mama did
F G C
Teenage love made us feel guilty and so we hid
G
Under those overpasses on summer nights
F
We'd tear each other's clothes off
(G)
And get into fights
Chorus:
