Song lyrics
'people try to put us down (talkin' bout' my generation)
just because we all get around (talkin' bout' my generation)
things they do look awful c c cold (talkin' bout' my generation)
i hope i die before i get old (talkin bout my generation)

Chorus
My Generation, It's My Generation baby

why don't you all fade away (talkin bout my generation)
and don't try an'dig what we all s s say (talkin bout my generation)
i'm not trying to cause a big sensation (talkin bout my generation)
just talkin 'bout my generation (talkin bout my generation)

Chorus

why don't you all fade away (talkin bout my generation)
and don't try an' think what we all say (talkin bout my generation)
i'm not trying to cause a big sensation (talkin bout my generation)
just talkin bout my generation (talkin bout my generation)

Chorus

My, My, My, My Generation

people try to put us down (talkin' bout' my generation)
just because we get around (talkin' bout' my generation)
things they do look awful c c cold (talkin' bout' my generation)
i hope i die before i get old (talkin bout my generation)

Chorus

talkin bout my generation (my generation)

Correction: The 2:45 live version from "Live at Leeds" is 5 times better -_-; sorry. My rating still stands though.

The rallying song for every generation that will come. My parents generation don't understand me and I'm sure I'll never understand my kids generation.
People try to put us down
Just because we get around

funny how they all say sleeping around is a bad thing, yet have a look at what they were doing as teenagers and times haven't changed much

Great song on all the member's parts. Everything about this song is perfect. The stuttering vocals, the bass solo, and of course Keith Moon's amazing drumming.

totally dig this song. sounds newer than it actually is. besides the vocals, it sounds like a 90's dance beat. Gotta dig it.
