lyrics

GENERATION Y

If I’m better at home - If I don’t go out late
Is that I like to sit around alone
And hate the people I hate

I get scared of crowds - And to my shrink i swear
“Yet I know tons of friends I can poke
And I can like what you like”

I’m gonna comb my hair - I’m A-dress up tight
I’m A-walk the streets haven’t been out for weeks
I can feel I need some air tonight

Is this what I came for?
Did I have that in mind?
G-Generation Y
Is this what I crave for?
The life I had in mind?
G-Generation Y

If I can live a life - And live it day by day while
Strumming my guitar
A couple Grammy’s on the way

A man can have his dreams but - Still has to pay the rent
Seems like a plan to go for fame & recognition
When you’re broke

Now I have seven hours - In seven days
In which to prove the state is wrong
That I am on the righteous way

Do I still have to pay the bill?
If it’s colder inside
I’ve got a couple cruise-ship tickets free
If you fancy the ride
Will I smoke them cigarettes?
I’m told there’s cancer inside
Will I drink myself to sleep?
And put it all on you tube
Get a million hits...
