Millennials Are Going Gray

"I don't know," they told me when I asked if we would be okay
Watching the world burn slowly
We drove to Hoboken and watched the smoke rise
Just staring speechless at a terrifying sight
I was very young, wondering how much closer I was to dying
But then we're all dying

Millennials aren't the children
It was decades ago now
Millennials are going gray,
Just another generation trying to make our way
Millennials are going fucking gray

And I've got two gray hairs
Right in the center of my scalp, bold and ready
For my enemies and friends to stare down
And the baby that I babysat is smoking lots of weed
Down in the shadows right behind my high school bleachers
I'm getting older, wondering how much closer I am to dying
But then we're all dying

Millennials aren't the children
It was decades ago now
Millennials are going gray,
Just another generation trying to make our way
Millennials are going fucking gray

They try to tell us we should be chasing an elusive stability
That when we're old we'll want the money
And we won't give a shit about these dreams
It's like they've never seen those deathbed surveys
And when you graduated college when
There were no jobs anywhere in sight
It's only natural to wonder,
What do I really want to do with this short life?
And if you've never wondered that then you're not living it right

Millennials aren't the children
It was decades ago now
Millennials are going gray,
Just another generation trying to make our way
Millennials are going fucking gray
We're never gonna be perfect but we'll find our way
Millennials are going fucking gray
