"Blank Generation" lyrics
"Blank Generation"
(cover of "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell and the Voidoids and "The Beat Generation" by Bob McFadden and Rod McKuen)
Some people like to rock, some people like to roll
But me, I like to sit around and satisfy my soul
I like my women short, I like my women tall
And that's about the only thing I really dig at all
I belong to the beat generation
I don't let anything trouble my mind
I belong to the beat generation
And everything's goin' just fine
I was sayin' "let me out of here", before I was
Even born, it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, yeah
I belong to the... generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin' out the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat, and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
I belong to the blank generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the... generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
To hold the T.V. to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my trail of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids through every passing dot
I belong to the blank generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, yeah
I belong to the... generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
Yeah, I belong to Generation X, man
I don't let anything trouble my mind
I belong to the me generation, and
Everything is gonna be just fine
I belong to generation Z
What's that you said?
What's that you're sayin' to me?
Did you say somethin'?

Around my head like a Japanese freight train
Visions of you
Around my head like a flower on a maypole

Gary Clark, Jr. - "Low Down Rolling Stone" Something's going on with me
I'm not who I used to be, nah
Reached point where darkness is my comfort zone
I know it's not what you came here for
So fly like an eagle
Go be beautiful and free girl...
Eagles Of Death Metal - "Careless Whisper" I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again...
