Head Machine - Blank Genertation Lyrics

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 down to the bone

Poisoned winds of woe

Teach us that we're

Alone in this world

We learned to see all the corruption and greed

All its hate, All it's pain, so

A toast to the end of our innocence

A toast to a blank generation


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 seventeen

Realizing the world wasn't what she seemed

Underneath the night San Fransisco sky

I would see, too clearly


But time blows by


And strips us down to the bone

Poisoned winds of woe

Teach us that we're

Alone in this world

We learned to see all the corruption and greed

All its hate, All it's pain, so

A toast to the end of our innocence

A toast to a 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 a 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 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 what the worlds given us

Giving back a bit of never giving a f*ck


Here's to the justice never dealt, to innocent, proven guilty

Here's to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the street

Here's to the "Rat-tat-n-tat" of gun shots, and your life is shattered

Here's to "Gimme your cash or your brains is gettin' splattered"

Here's to mad cow disease and all that yummy MSG

Here's to Micky D's serving all those mutant chick-a-dees

This is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocence

This is a toast to celebrate how...

We've become desensitized

If life is to grow

Some life must die


We learned to take all the corruption and greed

All it's hate, all it's pain so

A toast to the end of our innocence

Our generation

We now embrace all the corruption

And greed, all it's hate, all it's pain, so

A toast to the end of our innocence

Our blank generation
