Helicopter Parents and Generation Z

VERSE
D
Helicopter parents, bred
C
Generation Z to be
G
Fearful of most everything
D
Unconsciously

Helicopter parents lack
Basic bravery, onto
Unsuspecting offspring they load 
Their anxieties
C G

Helicopter parents, the
Media's to blame
In their rush to ratings they pushed
Kidnapping claims

Helicopter parents
Were arrested if they didn't
Provide a home environment that was
Safety sufficient
C G

CHORUS
Asus
The breakfast table
Esus
Bolstered the fable
Csus
Abduction from strangers
G
An everpresent danger 

Who's bright idea - was it
To breed the fear - of it
With missing kids
On milk cartons

A E C G

VERSE
All of their descendants have
Panic in their veins
At the slightest provocation they feel
Emotional pain

These kids are adolescents at
University
And even Halloween costumes cause them
Anxiety
C G

They're on anti-depressants cos the
Pressure is immense
Free speech needs to be constrained for
Their self-defence

Cos of their suppressants they need
Safety at all costs
They're asking to be treated in the 
Way that they grew up
C G

CHORUS
The breakfast table
Bolstered the fable
Abduction from strangers
An everpresent danger 

Who's bright idea - was it
To breed the fear - of it
With missing kids
On milk cartons



JUST LYRICS

Helicopter parents
Bred generation Z to be
Fearful of most everything
Unconsciously

Helicopter parents 
Lack basic bravery
Onto unsuspecting offspring they load 
Their anxieties

Helicopter parents
The media's to blame
In their rush to ratings they pushed
Kidnapping claims

Helicopter parents
Were arrested if they didn't
Provide a home environment that was
Safety sufficient

The breakfast table
Bolstered the fable
Abduction from strangers
An everpresent danger 

Who's bright idea was it
To breed the fear of it
Missing kids
On milk cartons

All of their descendants have
Panic in their veins
At the slightest provocation they feel
Emotional pain

These kids are adolescents at
University
And even Halloween costumes cause them
Anxiety

They're on anti-depressants
Cos the pressure is immense
Free speech needs to be constrained for
Their self-defence

Cos of their suppressants they need
Safety at all costs
They're asking to be treated in the 
Way that they grew up

The breakfast table
Bolstered the fable
Abduction from strangers
An everpresent danger 

Who's bright idea - was it
To breed the fear - of it
With missing kids
On milk cartons
