They say we been

going down and going

down

Been traveling on the road

to nowhere

Going down, round and

round

Trying to get to the place

where we started

When I was just a boy

at four years old thought

the world was joy

As a kid I'd play, just

create the day

as I saw it my way

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone

poisoned wind of woe

Teach us that we're

alone in this world

We learned to see all the

corruption and greed

All its hate, all its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

A toast to our blank generation

They say we been

going down, been going

down

Been traveling on the road

to nowhere

Going down, round and

round

Trying to get to the place

where we started

When I was seventeen

realizing the world wasn't

what she seemed

Underneath the night San

Francisco sky

I would see, too clearly

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone

poisoned wind of woe

Teach us that we're

alone in this world

We learned to take all the

corruption and greed

All its hate, all its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

A toast to our blank generation

So here's to our collagen

lips and saline tits

To our growth hormones

and antibiotics

To the Hollywood world

we made out of Barbie doll

hearts

After we melted them down

so we could make our new

start

Here's to a generation

scared and always

wondering why

Instead of playing doctor,

we play shoot each other

and die

Instead of ring around the

Rosie, we play hide from

Mommy

'Cause Mommy's been drinking

again and we don't

want to get beat

Even with all our tattoos,

and all our cheap thrills

there's still a hole inside

of us that may not ever get

filled

So we give back a little bit

of wha
