Verse 1:
D      E        A
 Well, we don't need no one to tell us what to do

Oh yes, we're on our own and there's nothing you can do
            C                D                      A
So we don't need no one like you to tell us what to do

We don't refer to the past when we're showing what we've done

Our generation gap means the war is never won
    C               D                         A
The past is in your head, the future's in our hands

Chorus:
       A
'Cause I'm a brat
                          C
And I know everything and I talk back
                            F        G   A
'Cause I'm not listening to anything you say
           D
And if you count to three 1 2 3
                      Bb
You'll see there's no emergency
                       F
You'll see I'm not the enemy
                     E
Just a prisoner of society

            C                D                      A
So we don't need no one like you to tell us what to do

Chorus:
       A
'Cause I'm a brat
                          C
And I know everything and I talk back
                            F        G   A
'Cause I'm not listening to anything you say
           D
And if you count to three 1 2 3
                      Bb
You'll see there's no emergency
                       F
You'll see I'm not the enemy
                     E
Just a prisoner of society
Go!
