Baby Boomers
They are the Baby Boomers
Born to reunited families
Split by the war
A baby boom
Felt around the World

Elvis Presley was king
Baby boomers and their music
Changed the world forever

Starting to ask why
Growing beards and long hair
All roads led to San Francisco
Sex drugs and rock 'n' roll

Trying not to sound like parents
Boomers invented living together
Kids without weddings
Naming them Sky and Summer
Maturing into jobs
Responsible and hard working
Spoilt their kids with

Making a corporate fortune
To support the new lifestyle
Don't have to grow old
