We Hate The Kids Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

D

DEvery generation gets fooled again

And Aevery generation is the same

And its Bmno good saying its not in your name

G 'cause Ait is in your name

And Dthis generation is to blame

And Athis generation is the same

And I'm Bmsorry that I can't join in any more

GBut I've been let down Atoo many times beGfore

Oh Ayeah we mean it

D We hate the Bmkids

So Gdance dance dance to this Aradio toDnight

I Dwanted to believe in rock'n'roll stars

I Awanted to believe in contemporary art

I Bmwanted to aspire to a higher path

G But Athere's no higher path

It was Dever thus, and it was ever you

And it's Aever us because we'll do it too

And we're Bmsorry to the all the disinherited meek, and

We're Gsorry for this con-trick that we Aplay on the people

G Oh Ayeah we mean it

D We hate the Bmkids

So Gdance dance dance to this Aradio toDnight G A

And Dnobody ever comes alive

And the Ajournalists clamour round glamour like flies

And Bmboys who should know better grin and get high

GWith fat men who once Amet the MC5

And Dno one discusses what they don't understand

And Ano one does anything to harm the brand

And this Bmgift is an illusion, this isn't hard

GAbsolutely anyone can Aplay the fucking guiGtar

Oh Ayeah we mean it

D We hate the Bmkids

GUseless children genuflecting

ATo the idols who exploit them

GOpen mouthed and arsed expecting

ASome god to anoint them

GDance Dance Dance to this Aradio toDnight G A

D G A

D G A

And there's Dalways a monk to get set on fire

And there's Aalways a crackhead charismatic liar

And there's Bmalways a depth to which you can aspire

And there's Galways a teenager Adue to expire

DPop had a beginning, it grew and was tended

ANow it is rotten. Let it be ended.

Let Bmevery hopeless case that every drummer befriended,

GEvery seven-inch that every Astudent intended

Every Dgroupie and ligger and identity seeker

Every Adruggy and drinker and every loudspeaker

Be Bmdone with, be piled up, tossed, set alight

GNo more music, thank you and goodnight.
