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

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

I'm a Brooklyn baby

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

You're blind,  I see

I'm free

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

Cause I don't have to fucking explain  it
