Generation Lost

Getting trampled under boots of progress

Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces

Now with (our backs) against the wall

How long 'til we fall?

Do away with all the underprivileged

Demographic doesn't fit your image

Turn your (blind eye) when duty calls

How long 'til we fall?

(In with the new) this is something that you can't ignore

(In with the new) a simple thing worth fighting for

(In with the new) 'cause now they're tearing down our doors

Oh, so she screams out the window, "I've had it up to here

So sick and tired of wondering where I'll be next year"

Caring less about the homeless millions

All the petty problems that go with them

Reap the (profit) that reaps thier lives

And tell me that it's fine

Throw them out and call it relocation

Lower-income housing, quick solution

(A generation lost)

(In with the new) this is something that you can't ignore

(In with the new) a simple thing worth fighting for

(In with the new) 'cause now they're tearing down our doors

Oh, so she screams out the window, "I've had it up to here

So sick and tired of wondering where I'll be next year"

Now in the whirlwind of my life

Is where you presently reside

Can I pretend you don't exist?

Maybe just for ten more minutes?

My heart's been broken into two

And rusted from years of disuse

So will you place upon it your hands

And will you help it beat again?

Now in the whirlwinds of my life

Is where you presently reside

Can I pretend you don't exist?

Maybe just for ten more minutes?

My heart's been broken into two

And rusted from years of disuse

So will you place upon it your hands

And will you help it beat again?

It seems the whole world's turned on me

(Bound and gagged) in the land of the free

Let's talk this over, this game is over

In with the new, out with the old

Hearts of the world have grown so cold

This game is over, let's talk this over
