Apoc - My Generation Lyrics
We’re useless!A whole generation been rendered ineffectualWe’re stupid!A whole generation bent anti-intellectualTalkin’ ‘bout my Xanax-takin’,Vacant, baitin’ doom, complacent,Agin’ awaitin’ an explanationEmployer hatin’, still wage slavin’Failin’, fakin’, chasin’ validationCreatin’ waste ‘n devastationVideo game playin’, mistake makin’Lost, forsaken generationNever gonna quit, no we’re never gonna stopLook at what we copped, look at what we gotEverything’s cool, yeah, everything’s hotI’m so counterculture, man, look at where I shopLook at what I dropped, look at what I rockBought myself some meaning and a fresh new topA feeling of importance ‘n some threads to jockSuch a *****ing rebel when I hit the blockEvery generation wants to be the last (be the last)Every generation wants to eat the past (eat the past)In a world where compassion is fashion, meaning’s just another object in the marketplace‘N in a world where convenience is king, beauty’s just another shopping center parking spaceWe so fresh-freshWe so fly-flySo who the best dressed?Don’t you lie-lieSo you can stress-stressWe say ‘why-why?’‘N we so recklessWe just buy-buyI saw the best minds of my generationReduced to priests of prosaic imitationAngel-headed hipsters burning their donationsNot learning from mistakes ‘n yearning for the days endAn entire vanguard, vain ‘n self-obsessedDrunk on false pride, nursed from fake breastsThe triumph of the ad age: authenticity’s deathEmpty fascinations lacking insight ‘n depthHistory’s just an aesthetic, that’s all it isGotta push it to the peasants in a hers ‘n hisJust put it all on credit, man, it’s strictly bizThere ain’t no time like the present to completely miss
