RIDIN’ IN ON THE TAIL OF BILL HALEY’S COMET BAND
BETWEEN A SECOND WORLD WAR AND THE ONE IN VIETNAM
SLIPPED INTO THE CRADLE OF AN ALL-AMERICAN BOOM
SENT ROCKETS TO THE MOON, NOW WE’LL ALL BE SENIORS SOON

          WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS, WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS
          ZIPPIN’ DOWN THE FREEWAY, SHOPPIN’ AT THE MALL
          DEFICITS ARE GROWIN’ AN’ LATELY THERE’S BEEN RUMORS
          THERE’S FAR TOO MANY OF US TO TAKE CARE OF US ALL

THE PRICE OF LIVIN’S BOUND TO KEEP ON GOIN’ UP AND UP
AS WE BEGIN TO DIP IN SOCIAL SECURITY’S BROKEN CUP
HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE ROCKETIN’ WAY TOO HIGH TO FALL
AN’ IT SEEMS MOST FOLKS IN WASHINGTON DON’T GIVE A DAMN AT ALL

          WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS, WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS
          ZIPPIN’ DOWN THE FREEWAY, SHOPPIN’ AT THE MALL
          DEFICITS ARE GROWIN’, LATELY THERE’S BEEN RUMORS
          THERE’S FAR TOO MANY OF US TO TAKE CARE OF US ALL

WALL STREET WIZARDS ON THE LAM FROM A MENTAL INSTITUTION
CLAIM PRIVATE RETIREMENT FUNDS, YEAH THEY ARE THE BEST SOLUTION
BUT WHEN THE MARKETS CRASH WE’LL BE ASKIN’ WHERE’S THE CASH
GUESS THEM FOLKS IN D.C. MUST BE SMOKIN’ TEXAS HASH

ODDS ARE AS WE GET OLDER, WE’LL LIKELY GET MORE ILL
AS WE’RE FARMED OUT TO THE MANSION UP ON REST HOME HILL
WILL CONGRESS PAY THE PIPER WHEN ALL THE MONEY’S GONE?
REPLACE THEM ALL, START OVER, WHILE WE ALL STILL CAN

          WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS, WE’RE THE BABY BOOMERS
          ZIPPIN’ DOWN THE FREEWAY, SHOPPIN’ AT THE MALL
          YEAH, DEFICITS ARE GROWIN’ AN’ LATELY THERE’S BEEN RUMORS
          THERE’S FAR TOO MANY OF US TO TAKE CARE OF US ALL
          YEAH, SOME OF US HAVE WARTS AN’ SOME HAVE CANCER TUMORS
          THERE’S FAR TOO MANY OF US TO TAKE CARE OF US ALL
