Strum
D-DU-UDU
God  what a mess,  on the ladder of success
 Where  you take one step and miss  the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled,  graduate unskilled
 It  beats pickin' cotton or waitin'  to be forgotten
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
The  daughters and the sons
Clean  your baby womb,  trash that baby  boom
 Elvis  in the ground, waitin'  on a beer tonight
Income  tax deduction,  what  a hell of a  function
 It  beats pickin' cotton or waitin'  to be forgotten
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
The  daughters and the sons
 (  for 2 bars)
Unwillingness  to claim us, got  no warrant to name us
 (Solo)
The  ones love us best  are the ones  we'll lay to  rest
 And  visit their graves on holidays  at best
The  ones love us least  are the  ones we'll die to please
 If  it's any consolation, I don't  begin to understand them
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
We  are the sons of no one, bastards  of young
The  daughters and the sons
D-------------------{eot}
Take it, it's yours...
