G                                  Em  
They say I'm too young to love you
                         C  
I don't know what I need
 
They think I don't understand
    G                   F         G  
The freedom land of the seventies
                                Em  
I think I'm too cool to know ya
                                 C  
You say I'm like the ice I freeze
 
I'm churning out novels like
     G           F      Em 
Beat poetry on amphetamines
 
     C        Em  
I say 
     F  
I say
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C                  G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
            F                    C
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
         F              C
I've got feathers in my hair
      F               Em
I get down to Beat poetry
       C                 G
And my jazz collection's rare
       F              C
I can play almost anything
      F          C
I'm a Brooklyn baby
      F          Em
I'm a Brooklyn baby

G                                  Em  
They say I'm too young to love you
                             C  
They say I'm too dumb to see
 
They judge me like a picture book
       G                F             G  
By the colors like they forgot to read
                                  Em  
I think we're like fire and water
                                    C  
I think we're like the wind and sea
 
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
  Am  
You're up, I'm down
       Am/B    Am/D   Em  
You're blind,  I see
           C      Em  
But I'm free
         F  
I'm free
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C                  G
Well, my boyfriend's in the band

         F              C
I've got feathers in my hair
      F               Em
I get down to Beat poetry
       C                 G
And my jazz collection's rare
       F              C

[Bridge]
 
C                               Em  
I'm talking about my generation
                                G  
Talking about that newer nation
 
And if you don't like it
        Am   Am/B   Am/D    Am/E  
You can beat it,    beat it, baby
C                                Em  
You never liked the way I said it
                                   G  
If you don't get it, then forget it
                                  Am    Am/B    Am/D  
Cause I don't have to fucking explain  it
 
 
[Chorus]

I've got feathers in my hair
       F                  Em
I get high on hydroponic weed
       C                 G
And my jazz collection's rare
       F              C
I get down to beat poetry

          F              C
But he's not as cool as me

I'm a Brooklyn baby
