Rise Against & Tom Morello & Wayne Kramer & Brian Fallon
This song is written to convey the plight of the poor and homeless in America, pushed down and exploited by the government to the point of estrangement, and the titular loss of an entire generation.
Getting trampled under boots of progress!
Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces!
Now with our backs against the wall!
How long 'til we fall?
Do away with all the underprivileged!
Their demographic doesn't fit your image!
Turn your blind eye when duty calls!
How long do we fall?
(In With The New)
Now this is something that you can't ignore!
(In With The New)
A simple thing worth fighting for!
(In With The New)
'Cuz now they're tearing down our doors!
And so she screams out the window
"I've had it up to here;
So sick and tired
Of wondering where I'll be next year!"
Caring less about the homeless millions
All the petty problems that go with them!
Reap the profit that reaps their lives
And tell me that it's fine!
Throw them out and call it relocation!
Lower-income-housing quick solution!
A Generation Lost!
(In With The New)
And this is something that you can't ignore!
(In With The New)
A simple thing worth fighting for!
(In With The New)
'Cuz now they're tearing down our doors!
And so she screams out the window
"I've had it up to here;
So sick and tired
Of wondering where, I'll be, next, year..."
Now in the whirlwind of my life
Is where you presently reside;
Can I pretend you don't exist
Maybe just for ten more minutes?
My heart's been broken into two
And rusted from years of disuse;
So will you place upon it your hand
And will you help it beat again?
Now in the whirlwind of my life
Is where you presently reside;
Can I pretend you don't exist
Maybe just for ten more minutes?
My heart's been broken into two
And rusted from years of disuse;
So will you place upon it your hand
And will you help it beat again?
It seems the whole world's turned on me
(Bound and gagged!) in the land of the free!
Let's talk this over, this game is over!
In with the new, out with the old
Hearts of the world have grown so cold;
This game is over, let's talk this over!...
