Lost Generation

They tell us kids are the future, defenders of the dream
It ends up like a nightmare, and I wake up with a scream
They stumble blindly through the present
Don't learn from the past
There is no future to be seen
The end is coming fast

Their eyes are blank, their faces pale
They block out everything
They turn to drugs just to escape
They will try anything
Thеir thoughts are thick and tangled
Fragments gallop 'round thеir skulls
They're brainwashed and influenced
And their heads are fulla holes

Don't wanna be lost or found or killed by radiation
Don't wanna be another part of the lost generation
Lost generation, lost generation
Oh no

[Guitar solo]

Don't wanna be lost or found or killed by radiation
Don't wanna be another part of the lost generation
Lost generation, lost generation
Oh no

Maybe if we don't talk about it, it will all go away
Let's try not to think about the things that are here to stay
Pretty soon, the time will come when we all go to Hell
Someone just let Satan out of Brother Jerome's cell

Don't wanna be lost or found or killed by radiation
Don't wanna be another part of the lost generation
Lost generation, lost generation
Oh no
