The Who lyrics
Album: My Generation [1965]
| La La La Lies | |
|
If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies
La la la la la la lies
You can't repeat what you put 'round
All the things that made me cry
You kicked me when I was down
And they hurt me all those lies
Lies
La la la la la la lies
I've got my girl and together we're strong
To laugh at you and prove you wrong
I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies
Lies
La la la la la la lies
If I'm so lost without a friend
Tell me, who's this by my side?
This girl with eyes like gems
And cool reactions to your lies
Lies
La la la la la la lies
I don't insist that you feel bad
I just want to see you smile
Don't ever think you made me mad
I didn't listen to your lies
Lies
La la la la la la lies

| 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 COLD
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
HOPE I DIE BEFORE I GET OLD
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
THIS IS MY GENERATION
THIS IS MY GENERATION BABY
WHY DON'T YOU ALL FADE AWAY
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
DON'T TRY TO DIG WHAT WE ALL SAY
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
I'M NOT TRYING TO CAUSE A BIG SENSATION
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
I'M JUST TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION
(TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GENERATION)
THIS IS MY GENERATION
THIS IS MY GENERATION BABY

| The Kids Are Alright | |
|
I don't mind, other guys dancing with my girl.
That's fine, I know them all pretty well.
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind,
Where the kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
Sometimes, I feel i gotta get away.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away.
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind,
Where the kids are alright
The kids are alright.
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her.
I had things planned but her folks wouldn't let her.
That's fine, them all pretty well.
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind
Where the kids are alright
The kids are alright.
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away.
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away.
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind,
Where the kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
The kids are alright.
The kids are alright.

| A Legal Matter | |
|
i told you why i changed my mind
i got bored by playing with time
i know you thought you had me nailed
but i've freed my head from your garden rails
(chorus)
now its a legal matter baby
you got me on the run
its a legal matter baby
a legal matter from now on
my mind's lost in a household fog
wedding gowns and catalogs
kitchen furnishings and houses
maternity clothes and baby's trousers
(chorus)
i told you why i changed my mind
i got bored by playing with time
i know you thought you had me nailed
but i've freed my head from your garden rails
(chorus)
you ain't the first and you ain't the last
i gain and lose my women fast
i never want to make them cry
i just get bored
don't ask me why
just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things i do
and not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
sorry baby
