G5
Please clean your plate dear
    F5              C5
The Lord above can see you
G5                          F5            C5
Don't you know people are starving in Korea
G5                            F5          C5
Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles
G5                         F5              C5
Kindergarten people, they use them , they need them
    G5                F5                 C5
The over-indulgent machines were their children
      G5                    F5             C5
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them
            G5
'Cause they looked just like humans
   F5            C5
At Kresge's and Woolworth's
    G5                       F5         C5
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
G5                        F5          C5
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets
       G5
Saying generation landslide
F5                 C5
Closed the gap between them
      G5          F5             C5           G5
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
    G5        F5            C5              G5    F5
Who never conceived of us billion dollar ba - bies

Militant mothers hiding in their basements
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs
While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance
Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father
Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em
But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
