Generation Y
I was born in a world I was never meant to be in
The shadow inside, you will never get to see him
Born in the 80's late, raised in the 90's, fate
Sealed, something crazy inside, let it lie in wait
Generation Y, born to die, make momma cry
Haven't killed ourselves yet, just know we're gonna try
Dead inside, we're all dead in the devil's eye
Triple sixes tell the truth, but the sevens lie
Roll the dice, get swept away to the heaven's gate
Never inside, the body walks, brain levitates
So high, kiss the sky how it always feels
While other kids played outside I popped prescription pills
Pop prescriptions still, same shit, just the reason changed
Still a junkie, go and cop shit, just the legal way
Life like sad movie, all get fucked in the end
Trying to escape the truth, we were fucked to begin
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, stay high
I don't give a fuck, no, I don't give a fuck
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, generation Y
Generation Y, why
Fight the truth, say this ain't about you, keep insisting
I won't hide it anymore, the truth is that it fits me
It's no mystery, take a look through history
Lost Generation, part two, life of misery
Born cynic, the sickness, was born with it
Spiraling out of control, life more fucked every minute
Ever since the beginning I've been walking on the edge
Not sure how I managed to keep from falling off the ledge
No friends, no one understands the shit inside my head
It holds a whole galaxy where everybody's dead
Severed heads, no heaven's breath, sixes stayed, sevens left
Live with rage everyday, several ways to get mislead
In a cage where I stay, screaming to let me loose
Been screaming for 20 years but nobody made a move
Make a move, make 'em pay, I'm cursing the whole earth
Really cursing myself, a person with no worth
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, stay high
I don't give a fuck, no, I don't give a fuck
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, generation Y
Generation Y, why
Look at the truth, got nothing to lose, never was anything that I had to prove
So confused from the self abuse, wore my heart on my sleeve 'till it poked right through
Then the blood soaked through, then I retreated inside right after I screamed fuck you
Went to the sink to wash my face and the face in the mirror said fuck you too
Well fuck you too bitch, a generation at war with itself, nothing can help
Blood on my hands, I wish it was yours but I've only ever known how to hurt myself
How to hurt my health and waste away, watch myself decay
Fading fast, walking through this world in a hellish haze
Selfish ways, never got what I wanted, I wanted to be in love
But the only thing I've known is the void, the darkness fits me like a glove
Up above is nothing watching, down below is all I've known
Trapped inside my mind watching someone else call it home
Evil clone, not alone, the voice inside will never cease
Hurt by teeth, I bite my tongue every time I try to speak
Try to teach me something, reach me someone, listen as I plead
Watch the parents close their eyes as my generation bleeds
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, stay high
I don't give a fuck, no, I don't give a fuck
Generation Y, born to die
We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck
Generation Y, generation Y
Generation Y, why
The shadow inside, you will never get to see him
Born in the 80's late, raised in the 90's, fate
Sealed, something crazy inside, let it lie in wait
Generation Y, born to die, make momma cry
Haven't killed ourselves yet, just know we're gonna try
Dead inside, we're all dead in the devil's eye
Triple sixes tell the truth, but the sevens lie
Roll the dice, get swept away to the heaven's gate
