Intro

N.C. E
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah

Verse

N.C. E A
When you see a little baby sitting on his mother's lap
It's just the beginning of a thing called the generation gap
It's not the difference of age now, that everybody's talking 'bout
It's all those no-no's that make up the generation gap

Verse

N.C. E A
Well, the grown ups go out now, they go to parties and get stoned
But that's something they don't talk about in front of the children at home
But they ain't fooling anybody now, 'cause those kids are gonna find it out
It's just another reason for a thing called the generation gap

Pre-chorus

Well, the generation gap is a mighty, mighty big hole  
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those lies that's being told

Chorus

N.C. E
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
You better shut your trap
If you expect to narrow the generation gap
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah

Verse

N.C. E A
Preacher says drinking is a sin that we'll have to pay for
Well, tell me, what's that liquor bottle doing on the dash of his car?
And who's the man who calls "Daddy" every time that Mama's out?
Well, do you still wonder why we have that generation gap?

Pre-Chorus

The generation gap is a mighty, mighty big hole  
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those lies that's being told

Chorus

N.C. E
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
You better shut your trap
If you wanna help to close that generation gap
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah

Pre-Chorus

The generation gap is a mighty, mighty big hole  
And you ain't gonna fill it up with all those lies that's being told

Chorus

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
You better button your lip
Or else you're gonna lose yourself on your own generation trip
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah
Wah-wah, wah-wah, wah, wah-wah, wah-wah, wah
