We were born to mothers who smoked and drank

Our Cribs were cribs were covered in lead based paint
     E                             D
No Childproof lids no seatbelts in cars
      E                                    D
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are
               A
Still here we are

Had three T.V. channels you got up to change

No video games and no satellite
    E                                   D
All we had were friends and they were outside
         A
Playing Outside

School always started the same everyday
      A                                          F#m
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
     E                             D
Not every kid made the team when they tried
      E                                    D
We got disappointed but that was alright
