Pesme bratstva, detinjstva & potomstva: Antologija ex YU rok poezije 1967 - 2007 (trans. Songs of Brotherhood, Childhood & Offspring: Anthology of Ex YU Rock Poetry 1967 - 2007) is a book by Serbian author, journalist and music critic Petar Janjatović. Published in 2008, the book is the second, expanded edition of Janjatović's 1993 book Pesme bratstva & detinjstva: Antologija rok poezije SFR Jugoslavije 1967 - 1991 (Songs of Brotherhood & Childhood: Anthology of Rock Poetry in SFR Yugoslavia 1967 - 1991). The book features lyrics by acts from the former Yugoslav rock scene and the scenes of the successor states.

In the original (1993) introduction, entitled "Od Osmeha do plavog neba" ("From Smile to Blue Sky", referring to Grupa 220 song "Osmeh" and Obojeni Program song "Nebo, nebo plavo je"), Janjatović states that he tried to make a selection of artistic lyrics by Yugoslav rock authors. He states that the appearance of artistic lyrics matches the appearance of the first full-length rock album in Yugoslavia, Grupa 220's Naši dani (Our Days), but that during the 1960s and early 1970s there was a small number of artists among rock lyricists. By Janjatović's words, it were Yugoslav punk rock and Yugoslav new wave acts that made artistic rock lyrics imperative.

Below this observations, Janjatović states:
