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
