Standard (EADGBE)

 Before I was even born

 It's such a gamble when you get a face

 It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does

 But when I die it's to the wall that I set my face

Chorus

I belong to the blank generation, and

 I can take it or leave it each time, well

 I can take it or leave it each time

 Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)

 Triangles falling at the window as the doctor cursed

 He was a cartoon, long forsaken by the public eye

 The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first

 The doctor grabbed my throat and said, "God's consolation prize!"

Chorus

Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)

 (repeat)

To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash

 Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in your vacant--lot

 Then lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks

 And hold beneath my eyelids every passing thought

Chorus

Chorus

quietly)

Oooo oooo oooo oooo

 Oooo oooo oooo oooo

 Waah oooooooo
