Velvet Generation

[Intro]
I really don't think you should judge a book by it's cover
Oh my God, what are they wearing?
Give me a break

[Verse 1]
Born in the free land, brought up by soft hands
Cruisin' the left lane
Paint by numbers, results in numbness say numbers
Go the game plan
Silver tongues and rusty lungs
My love and hate relation, a velvet generation

[Chorus]
Too rich to try
But too poor to buy
Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
You're too young to reach
But too old to teach
We got everything, or do we have nothing at all?

[Verse 2]
Sweetest candy gets a sugar coat
We hit the ground running on a perfect road
Give me love, give me real
Give me something I can feel, now
Senses are all bubble wrapped
All high on medication, a blurry generation

[Chorus]
Too rich to try
But too poor to buy
Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
You're too young to reach
But too old to teach
And we got everything, or do we have nothing at all?

[Chorus]
You're too rich to try
But too poor to buy
Too smart to fool yourself into thinking that this is the life
You're too young to reach
But too old to teach
And we got everything, or do we have nothing at all?
