  • [PUNK:]
    You declared you would be three inches taller
    You only became what we made you.
    Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
    You only earned what we gave you.
    You fell and cried as our people were starving,
    Now you know that we blame you.
    You tried to walk on the trail we were carving,
    Now you know that we framed you.

    [G.F.:]
    I'm the guy in the sky
    Flying high Flashing eyes
    No surprise I told lies
    I'm the punk in the gutter
    I'm the new president
    But I grew and I bent
    Don't you know don't it show
    I'm the punk with the stutter.
    My my my my my mmmm my my my.

    GGGGG-g-g-g-g generation.

    [PUNK:]
    We tried to speak between lines of oration
    You could only repeat what we told you.
    Your axe belongs to a dying nation,
    They don't know that we own you.
    You're watching movies trying to find the feelers,
    You only see what we show you.
    We're the slaves of the phony leaders
    Breathe the air we have blown you.

    [G.F.:]
    I'm the guy [etc.]

    I have to be careful not to preach
    I can't pretend that I can teach,
    And yet I've lived your future out
    By pounding stages like a clown.
    And on the dance floor broken glass,
    The bloody faces slowly pass,
    The broken seats in empty rows,
    It all belongs to me you know.

    [PUNK:]
    You declared [etc.]
