G#                                Fm
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

I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
Beat poetry on amphetamines

     C# Fm
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#               Fm
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#          Fm
I'm a Brooklyn baby

They say I'm too young to love you
They say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see

Chorus

C#                             Fm
I'm talking about my generation
                                G#
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it
        A#m   A#m   A#m      A#m 
You can beat it,   beat it, baby
C#                               Fm
You never liked the way I said it
                                   G#
If you don't get it, then forget it
                                A#m  A#m   A#m  
Cause I don't have to fucking explain it

Chorus

        C#                   G#
Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool
          F#              C#
But he's not as cool as me
         F#             C#
Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
       F#         Fm
I'm a Brooklyn baby
