Generation Why

Generation Why

Verse 1: The sorrows we endure, greater than

[We are] mindless legions of zombie students

Seven hours of hell, five days a week

Escape? Not a chance, we’re already dead

Generation Why, Generation Why?

Boredom leads to depression

And we all have nothing to do

The ones we grew up with

Mean nothing to no one anymore

Generation Why, Generation Why?

Verse 2: Why were we born into this nightmare?

When did it become a crime to live?

Why is everyone so fucking clueless?

Or do they notice and just not care?

Generation Why, Generation Why?

What did we do to deserve this?

Why is excellent never adequate?

Being perfect’s not enough to please

Why are we plagued with this disease?

Generation Why, Generation Why?

Verse 3: The days get longer; years shorter

They give us more nothing to fill the void

Playtime comes with guns and chains

Morality taught by TV

Generation Why, Generation Why?

Media owns us all; what else can?

Life’s lessons lost on a lone generation [why]

Zombification began at birth

[We are] all alone with each other

Generation Why, Generation Why?

Chorus: High expectations [while] my generation dies [from]

Education’s lies [cause] terminations, surprised? [and] separation’s cries, [self] mutilations unwise [why] Generation Why, [oh] Generation Why?
