Generation Us Song


Generation Us Song

Lick my debts off the cement with my self-dignity
American dream, it missed me,
Narcoleptic zombie stumbling through Generation X
Living in apocalypse as Generation Debt

Existential High School, no major advice
Finance college for a twenty year swipe
Credit card junkie dealers as you walk through the door
Faustian bargain to pay for that beer for twenty years more

Liberal arts, a death dance, no career, for a free-lance
Corporate contracts for skills that don’t match
Overseas boot camps, health care opt outs
Chinese capitalist, Middle East despots
Where the fuck is a place for an American me?

Lick my debts off the cement with my self-dignity
American dream, it missed me,
Narcoleptic zombie stumbling through Generation X
Living in apocalypse as Generation Debt

Daddy’s union disbanded, and mommy’s got two part time jobs
Totaling to zero for a Wall Street lynch mob
Subprime profiteers, deflation activation
Partisan politics for short-term preservation

Silicone meltdown, Boomer’s gone bust
Answer’s in the community of Generation Us
Answer’s in the community of Generation Us
