They say I´m too young to love you
I don´t know what I need
They think I don´t understand
The Freedomland of the 70´s
I think I´m too cool to know you
You say I´m like the ice I freeze
I´m churning out novels like
Beat poetry on Amphetamines
I say
I say

Well my boyfriend´s in the band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I´ve got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection´s rad
I can play most anything
I´m a Brooklyn baby
I´m a Brooklyn baby

They say I´m too young to love you
You 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
But I´m free
I´m free

Well my boyfriend´s in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I´ve got feathers in my hair
I get down to beat poetry
And my jazz collection´s rad
I can play most anything
I´m a Brooklyn baby
I´m a Brooklyn baby

I´m talking about my generation
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don´t like it
You can beat it
Beat it baby
You never liked the way I said it
If you don´t get it, then forget it
So I don´t have to fucking explain it

And my boyfriend´s in a band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I´ve got feathers in my hair
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection´s rad
I get down to beat poetry
I´m a Brooklyn baby
I´m a Brooklyn baby

Yeah my boyfriend´s pretty cool
But he´s not as cool as me
Cause I´m a Brooklyn baby
I´m a Brooklyn baby
