Generation

Grace never came to you easy
She lost herself
She drowned at sea

Help never came so easy
But she lost herself
She was too blind to see

It’s the sound of a generation so fucked up
Can’t you see?
You wanna destroy yourself
Go ahead, that’s fine
But don’t destroy me
Don’t destroy me
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
Destroy me

Television, one vision, indecision, superstition
Green light, free flight, going out every night
Angry man, gobby kid, grubby wife, Jemma Kidd
Reading news on the bus, bad paper, what’s the fuss?

(Background)
Police state, no state, one voice, no choice
Free vote, what for, Scottsman through the door
Obama, Osama, Sky News just for drama
Black swans, banker’s choice, planet’s lost, the human voice

Somehow when it comes for free
We lose ourselves
We’re too blind to see

It’s the sound of a generation so fucked up
Can’t you see?
You wanna destroy yourself
Go ahead, that’s fine
But don’t destroy me
Don’t destroy me
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
Destroy me

Get away from me I don’t need your life
I don’t need your lies
You’re so self satisfied
I don’t need you

Get away from me I don’t need your life
I don’t need your lies
You’re so self satisfied
I don’t need you

You should have known better than to leave me alone
Please!
You should have known better than to leave me alone
Please!
You should have known better than to leave me alone

Get away from me I don’t need your life
I don’t need your lies
You’re so self satisfied
I don’t need you

Get away from me I don’t need your life
I don’t need your lies
You’re so self satisfied
I don’t need you
