Our Generation

(album: Cheer Up Charlie - 2018)

We're quiet when you meet us
We riot on the streets
We're liars and we're cheaters
'Cause a grand don't come for free

But that's just our generation
And I'd never change 'em
I think we got some issues

My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love
They say we drink too much
But we're fine, fine, fine, fine
My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love but we're fine
That's just our generation
And I'd never change 'em

We let ourselves down after we've had a few
We're all residents on Heartbreak Avenue
Some of us are rich, some are poor
But money don't mean nothing when you're on the dancing floor
But we ain't decision makers, cleaning the marks off our dirty trainers
Weekend spenders, midweek savers
The simple life is too complicated
Waking up after crazy nights
Free drinks but we're gonna pay the price
Ask your friends if you can stay the night
Having fun but it ain't alright

But that's just our generation
And I'd never change 'em
I think we got some issues

My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love
They say we drink too much
But we're fine, fine, fine, fine
My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love but we're fine
That's just our generation
And I'd never change 'em

Have I let you down? Tell me the truth
We'll be taking shots like we're bulletproof
And we're all fools, none of us have ever made it
Oh, went to school, that don't mean we're educated, no
None of us are problem solvers
Didn't take advice that the elders told us
All walk around with a chip on our shoulders
Memories stored on an iPhone folder
Waking up after crazy nights
Free drinks but we're gonna pay the price
Ask your friends if you can stay the night
Having fun but it ain't alright

But that's just our generation
And I'd never change 'em
I think we got some issues

My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love
They say we drink too much
But we're fine, fine, fine, fine
My generation's fucked
We don't know how to love but we're fine
That's just our generation
I think we need changing
