Machine Head - Blank Genertation lyrics

They say we been
Going down & going down
Been traveling on the road to nowhere
Going down, round & round
Trying to get to the place where we started

When I was just a boy
At four yeahrs old thought the world was joy
As a kid I would play, just create the day
As I saw it my way

But time blows by

And strips us down to the bone
Poisoned winds of woe
Teach us that we are
Alone in this world
We learned to see all the corruption & greed
All its hate, All it is pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
A toast to a blank generation

They say we been
Going down & going down
Been traveling on the road to nowhere
Going down, round & round
Trying to get to the place where we started

When I was seventeen
Realizing the world wasn´t what she seemed
Underneath the night San Fransisco sky
I´d see, too clearly

But time blows by

And strips us down to the bone
Poisoned winds of woe
Teach us that we are
Alone in this world
We learned to see all the corruption & greed
All its hate, All it is pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
A toast to a blank generation

So here is to our collagen lips & saline tits
To our growth hormones & antibiotics
To the Hollywood world we made out of Barbie doll hearts
After we melted them down so we could make a new start
Here is to a generation scared & always wondering why
Instead of playing doctor we play shoot each other & die
Instead of ring around the rosie, we play hide from mommy
Cause mommy´s been been drinking again & we do not wanna get beat
Even with all our tattoos, & all our cheap thrills
Theres still a hole inside of us that may not ever get filled
So we give back a little bit of what the worlds given us
Giving back a bit of never giving a f*ck

Here is to the justice never dealt, to innocent, proven guilty
Here is to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the street
Here is to the "Rat-tat-n-tat" of gun shots, & your life´s shattered
Here is to "Gimme your cash or your brains is gettin´ splattered"
Here is to mad cow disease & all that yummy MSG
Here is to Micky D´s serving all those mutant chick-a-dees
This is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocence
This is a toast to celebrate how...
We have become desensitized
If life´s to grow
Some life must die

We learned to take all the corruption & greed
All it is hate, all it is pain so
A toast to the end of our innocence
Our generation
We now embrace all the corruption
And greed, all it is hate, all it is pain, so
A toast to the end of our innocence
Our blank generation
