[Verse 1]
[Em]God, what a [G]mess,
on the [Em]ladder of suc[D]cess
Where you [C]take one step and
[D]miss the whole first [G]rung
[Em]Dreams unful[G]filled,
[Em]graduate uns[D]killed
It [C]beats pickin' cotton
and [D]waitin' to be for[G]gotten

[Chorus 1]

The [C]daughters and the [D]sons

[Em]Clean your baby [G]womb,
[Em]trash that baby [D]boom
[C]Elvis in the ground,
no [D]way he'll be here to[G]night
[Em]Income tax de[G]duction,
[Em]one hell of a [D]function
It [C]beats pickin' cotton
or [D]waitin' to be for[G]gotten

[Chorus 2]
[C]We are the sons of no one,
[G]bastards of young
[C]We are the sons of no one,
[G]bastards of young

The [Em]ones love us [G]best
are the [Em]ones we'll lay to [D]rest
And [C]visit their graves on [D]holidays at [G]best
The [Em]ones love us [G]least
are the [Em]ones we'll die to [D]please
If it's [C]any consolation,
[D]I don't begin to unde[G]r stand them

[Chorus 3]
[C]We are the sons of no one,
[G]bastards of young
[C]We are the sons of no one,
[G]bastards of young
[C]Daughters and the [D]sons

Take it, it's yours
