my gerenation

the city's all wrapped

I've seen the best minds

of my generation running on empty,

super glued to the T.V.,

dreaming of prosperity,

talking incessently...

saying nothing

sleepin on platforms in train stations

sippin on chemical cocktails

alive to the universe

and dead to the world

hallucinating delusions of mediocrity and candied

desperate in the pursuit of cool

hes in a suit

shes in a straightjacket

7-11 nightmares at 3am

and i think we might have ... for a while

ive seen the best minds of my generation

caught up in the virtual reality of living

memorizing pin numbers and secret codes

swaying robotically to nonexistant rhythmns flashing membership to clubs so exculsive that no one belongs

scared

shitless

witless

clueless

useless

tight fisted

tight lipped

tight assed

half assed

ass licking coke sniffing money grubbing ego JABBIN'

ass licking coke sniffing money grubbing ego JABBIN'

sniffling and goveling

moaning and groaning

and i think we might have ... for a while

the city's all wrapped up in plastic

like an electronic cocoon

if you lay in the street you can hear it humming

filling up slowly from underground

if you close your eyes

you can observe the blue prints

the man-made DNA that spirals

breathlessly out of control

as synapse collapse

bridges snap

into a restless utopia

UTOPIA

(whoa)

and i think we might have ... for a while

(2x)
