My Generation
My generation's in a state
We're a nation in the gutter
Pass the queue for the food bank every day
Would you get some bread and butter?
I see a single mother signing on
Just to keep her baby eating
While her teenage son shots gear to fund
The lekky and the heating
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
I see the local lads who did smash-and-grabs
On tag outside probation
I see the demonized and traumatized
By social deprivation
It's too gеntrified to attempt to die
In thе block where life started
'Cause they regenerate every estate
To cleanse the working classes
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
People say God only knows what we're dying for
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
'Cause we are the dreamers and lovers
With nothing to live for but one another
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
We're a nation in the gutter
Pass the queue for the food bank every day
Would you get some bread and butter?
I see a single mother signing on
Just to keep her baby eating
While her teenage son shots gear to fund
The lekky and the heating
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
I see the local lads who did smash-and-grabs
On tag outside probation
I see the demonized and traumatized
By social deprivation
It's too gеntrified to attempt to die
In thе block where life started
'Cause they regenerate every estate
To cleanse the working classes
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
People say God only knows what we're dying for
And people say God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
'Cause we are the dreamers and lovers
With nothing to live for but one another
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
God only knows what we're trying for
God only knows what we're dying for
