Generation Y Songtext
von The Hampdens

Sick and tired of apathy and Cobain tributes
Buy some time and make a bid for generation
Why, oh why can′t I get it together?
Need to meet tonight on MySpace, I'll be there waiting
A blacklit sky could be nuclear or just a late sunrise
Oh, rise, come on, the day is waiting

Another stolen glance on a Friday night
You could never know
This is not a life, it is an addiction
Across the bar, I watch you dance
But never mind
It′s over now, we're generation why

French Vogue and nails
Spiders cling to models' faces
Another high rise, a facsimile of the mottos
Of our youth so long ago
I don′t recall them


Another stolen glance on a Friday night
You could never know
This is not a life, it is an addiction
Across the bar, I watch you dance
But never mind
It′s over now, we're generation why

I′ll be a dickhead in a dark lab
You'll know from the town that I grew up
With my friends doing the things other folks do
To keep the world from closing in
Take my hand, come back to the town that I grew up in

Another stolen glance on a Friday night
You could never know
This is not a life, it is an addiction
Across the bar, I watch you dance
But never mind
It′s over now, we're generation why


Another stolen glance on a Friday night
(Throw out all the clothes you own)
You could never know
(Throw out all the things you know)
This is not a life, it is an addiction
Across the bar, I watch you dance
(Throw out all your Converse shoes)
(Throw out all your videos)
But never mind
It′s over now, we're generation why
Another stolen glance on a Friday night
(Throw out all the clothes you own)
(Throw out all the things you know)
You could never know
This is not a life, it is an addiction
Across the bar, I watch you dance
(Throw out all your Converse shoes)
