lyrics

[Christopher Michael Jensen]
Hey, let's talk about my generation
Higher education with lower level wages
Inheriting a fucked up economy
From brainwashed boomers with twisted ideologies
So my generation's full o' despair
Filled with pills, disillusioned, thinkin' no one'll care, yeah
Askin' if we have a death wish
'Cause I keep seein' the deceased in my Facebook friends list
Senseless, venting in virtual voids
On a dyin' planet that's been hurt and destroyed
Saw active shooters in a class o' students
As the paranoia mounted with massive movements
Survivalism, no canteens or canned beans
Starvin' in a garden, it's time to plant seeds
Deserve better in the times that we face
Still maladjusted, but finding our ways

[Christopher Michael Jensen]
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
Up against the world, no preparation
But this one's for you, my dedication
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
At the end of our ropes, desperation
But this one's for you

[OKnice]
My generation's always knowin' where the exit is
In any place in case there's a gun and gotta exit quick
All some drops in a bucket and now who's next to kick
A world where there's nothin' to lose and so what's left is this
Some debt, some death, no rest, no checks
So go ahead, Mr. Officer, you can check my breath
Perfectly sober, maybe I'm wantin' to wreck
Know that carryin' that badge don't require respect
Got a cocktail of pills just to function
Got degrees on the wall that mean nothin'
Wanna cry but instead I'm mean-muggin'
Don't wanna die, I just wanna feel somethin'
So I glue my eyes to a screen to find what I need
My mind can retreat, then rest, rinse, and repeat
All my days been the same, countin' steps on the street
All my songs been the same, just stress and a beat

[Christopher Michael Jensen & Sei Young]
Chris: My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
Up against the world, no preparation
But this one's for you, my dedication
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
At the end of our ropes, desperation
But this one's for you
Sei: (My generation, my generation
My generation, my generation
Against the world, no preparation
This one's for you, my dedication
My generation, my generation
My generation, my generation
End of our ropes, desperation
This one's for you)

[Sei Young]
Uh, we're a product of the boom, there was toxins in the womb
You could lock us in a room with the product to consume
We'll frolic in the gloom 'til we're followin' the flume
To that watered down part of town that profits off our tomb
Face full of our phones, bathin' in loans
Couldn't make it alone, so we're stayin' at home, uh
Raisin' our own, didn't wait 'til we're grown
And the ways we were shown are outdated and foreign
These days go by so fast, cherish every little
Moment, they don't last, before you know it
They are gone
Gone
These days go by so fast, cherish every little
Moment, they don't last, before you know it
They are gone
Gone

[Christopher Michael Jensen]
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
Up against the world, no preparation
But this one's for you, my dedication
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
At the end of our ropes, desperation
But this one's for you, my dedication

[Christopher Michael Jensen & Sei Young]
Chris: My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
Up against the world, no preparation
But this one's for you, my dedication
My generation, yeah, my generation
My generation, yeah, my generation
At the end of our ropes, desperation
But this one's for you
Sei: (My generation, my generation
My generation, my generation
Against the world, no preparation
This one's for you, my dedication
My generation, my generation
My generation, my generation
End of our ropes, desperation
This one's for you)
