Third Generation Songtext
von Seth James

I′ve taken your shit for so long I quit
You light the match and you clown around
I hope you're inside when it all burns down
You want to be a big shot
So give it up or give it all you′ve got
No reason, you've got no soul
You got locked out so you peek through the keyhole

First generation breaks their back
Second one makes the money
Third one throws it all away
Singing everybody's fault
Everybody′s fault but mine
Everybody′s fault but mine


Your granddaddy fought three wars
Sixty-one years and never divorced
One Dust Bowl and zero complaints
You're strung out on strippers and cocaine
Your old man walked the line
Busted his knuckles on the daily grind
He broke sweat, you broke the bank
He put it in the water and you watched it sink

First generation breaks their back
Second one makes the money
Third one throws it all away
Singing everybody′s fault
Everybody's fault but mine
Everybody′s fault but mine

He built a home, he built a name
He built a bridge, you broke the chain
From the sky to the ground
He built it up, you tore it down
Down, down, down, down


First generation breaks their back
Second one makes the money
Third one throws it all away
Singing everybody's fault but mine
First generation breaks their back
Second one makes the money
Third one throws it all away
Singing everybody′s fault
Everybody's fault but mine
Everybody's fault but mine
