I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest
C G
or a Naval Academy grad
C G
That was the way that my parents perceived me
A D
Those were the plans that they had
C G
But I couldn't fit the part too dumb or too smart
C G D
Ain't it funny how we all turned out
C G D G
I guess we are the people our parents warned us a bout
G
You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
C G
Or hopped a freighter south to Trini dad
C G
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree
A D
Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad
C G
But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar
C G D
Playin' acid rock 'til I was nu mb
C G
Tell me where are the flashbacks
D G
they all warned us would come
D G
We are the people, they couldn't figure out
D G
We are the people our parents warned us a bout
C D G
Hey hey, Gardner Mc Kay
D C G C G
Take us on the Leaky Tiki with you
C D G
Clear skies bound for Shanghai
D C G
Sailing cross the ocean blue
G
Now I got quarters in my loafers
tryin' to fight inflation
C G
When it only used to take a cent
C G
Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days
A D
'Fore I knew what cash flow meant
C G
Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health s**t
C G D
Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed
C G D G
'Cause I love cajun mart inis and playin' afternoon golf
D G
We are the people there isn't any doubt
D G
We are the people they still can't figure out
D G
We are the people who love to sing "Twist and Shout"
SHAKE IT UP BABY
D G
We are the people our parents warned us a bout
D
Id'n' any doubt
G C
Hey hey hey
G C

G C
I wanna sail away to day
G C
They warned us a bout
G C
