Baby Boomer — Monsters of Folk
Chords and lyrics for Baby Boomer by Monsters of Folk (key of A).
Verse 1
Key of D. TWO CHORDS. I - V7. real good with 3 singers.
[D]We gotta stand a little closer to what it is we’re leanin’ on
[D]Who was it that first said it? Could it be he could be wrong
About the [A7]pilgrims and the natives
Having dinner on the lawn?
I think if [D]I was ever king I would buy a censorship
[D]Where the only books upon the shelves Were the ones that I had written
Oh, and [A7]put them up in borders, set my photo down the spine
To tell the [D]story of the livin’ without forgettin’ those who’d died
And I [A7]would die a happy man ‘Cause I did the best that I could do
To find a [D]better way of leading, Should we leave that up to you?
[D]Who was the one that said it, Yeah the one who said it best?
You got to [A7]L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones who are still left
And we gotta stand a little closer
To the lessons that we’ve learned
Is it just a premonition?
Could we really get ourselves both burned?
I’ve been sent here on a mission to find what we agree upon
We don’t agree about September,
Could we agree on Vietnam?
I think if I was ever publisher I’d buy a pirate ship
Where the mission at each position is to shoot and to click
Clean the photos up a little, censor the ship out of it
So when we put it up in borders, turn a profit on the trip
Charge the public for the overhead of 1492
And if they need a better reason tell them we got livin’ proof
And I would die a happy man
‘Cause I did the best that I could do
To find a better way of leading,
Should we leave that up to you
Who was it that said it?
Yeah that’s what I’m trying to say
You got to L-O-V-E your neighbors, at least the ones that live today
Hey, hey
