Lyrics
There's a feeling coming down
That says we already lost:
It tastes like fries & cheeseburgers but smells like diesel exhaust.
We keep the conversations light,
& burn it faster than we earn.
It's like we rolled back 60 years worth of lessons learned.
It's hard to pretend it's beginning
When every day our number's thinning.
We waived our birthrights at the door,
We turned our voter cards in for
Sense of security & brilliant new careers.
It's like our generation
All signed their resignation here.
We're on the XBox every day,
We say we bought it for the kid.
They say you mellow as you age but we just lost interest.
Got conquered by our appetites
& fear of losing world esteem
& the idea of always being on the winning team.
No shots were fired, no ballots cast.
Negotiations went awfully fast.
We waived our birthrights at the door,
We turned our voter cards in for
Sense of security & brilliant new careers.
It's like our generation
All signed their resignation here.
No Resistance,
No Charles De Gaulle,
No "La Marseillaise",
No bugle calls,
We surrendered
Before the flag was even down;
We handed it over
With barely a dissenting sound.
It's hard to pretend it's beginning
When every day our number's thinning.
We waived our birthrights at the door,
We turned our voter cards in for
Sense of security & brilliant new careers.
It's like our generation
All signed their resignation here.
