Children Of The 80's
Joan Baez

We're the children of the eighties haven't we grown


We're tender as a Lotus and we're tougher than a stone.

And the age of our innocence is somewhere in the garden.


We like the music of the sixties


It's The Rolling Stones

The Beatles and The Doors.

Flower children

Woodstock and the war.

Ah

but it's getting harder to deceive us.

And we don't care if Dylan's gone to Jesus

Jimmy Hendrix is playing on.

We know Janis Joplin was the Rose

ah

but all the stuff she put in her arm.

We are not alone.

We're the children of the eighties haven't we grown

. . .


Some of us are the sisters and the brothers


We take a leatherjacket and a single golden earring.

Hang out at Discos

Rock shows

lose our hearing


Take uppers

downers

blues and reds and yellows.

Our brains are turning to jello

We are looking forward to the days when we live inside of a purple haze.

And the salvation of the soul is Rock and Roll


We are the children of the eighties haven't we grown

. . .


Recently have you looked in our eyes


Maybe with your conscience in disguise.

We're well informed and we are wise

please stop telling us lies.

We know Afganistan's invaded and we know El Salvador's dictated


Ah

but our lives have just begun

we are the warriers of the sun.

We're the golden boys and the golden girls

For a better world.

We are the children of the eighties haven't we grown

. . .
