My Generation (Part 2)

Did you know that there are people who put us down
for no other reason than the simple fact that we get around?

My generation, part two, book three, verse four, Jackson Five, Nikki Sixx

My old man says the Woodstock generation
Found a way to make this nation
And he says my generation
Open up its eyes and take a look around
Aint good for nothing
So I thought Id jot it down
I could think of something

Heres to hair gel
Hanging out at the health spa
Using condom sense
Watching L.A. Law
Heres to drum machines
Stonewashed jeans
Credit cards, fax machines
Big bow-headed chicks and frat guys
Wearing forty dollar tie-dyed t-shirts
And big old paisley ties
Heres to living off dad as long as you can
And blending in with the crowd
Oh, my generation
My generation should be proud

My generation
We were raised up in the hallowed halls
Of half a million shopping malls
And there aint any price that were too proud to pay
Well buy anything from Diet Sprite
To one thousand points of light
But Im proud anyway
Hey, I admit were not that bright

Heres to hair gel
Hanging out at the health spa
Using condom sense
Watching Arsenio Hall
Stone-washed jeans
Heres to drum machines
Big bow-headed chicks and frat guys
Credit cards, fax machines
Wearing forty dollar tie-dyed t-shirts
And blending into the crowd
And big, bold paisley ties
Oh, my generation
Heres to living off dad as long as we can
My generation
My generation
God, I hope I die before I get old
My generation
My generation
My generation
Strike a pose--theres nothing to it
My generation
My generation
Oh, my generation should be proud
