Bankrupt Generation

lyrics

Where are my heroes, those fallen heroes?
Childhood icons, mainstream media pros
Victims of their own fame, only good in their day
Turns out they weren't that interesting anyway
Anyway...

Where's my generation, bankrupt generation?
No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos
Instant gratification fueled by the liars
Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose

Hyper-vanity of an iPhone society
Fake celebrity for all on YouTube and Reality TV
Fifteen minutes of fame, the masses cheer your pain
Turns out you aren't that interesting anyway
Anyway...

Where's my generation, bankrupt generation?
No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos
Instant gratification fueled by the liars
Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose

We used to rock the world, now there's no time to listen
Stuck at home just waiting for the sitter
Not even knowing what we're missin'
These changes in our lives - a shock to the system

Is this it, have we lost the fire?
Down for the count and strung out on a wire?
401(k) gone, lost the house
Unemployed with a deadbeat spouse
I'm not done yet, so much more to say
It's a brand new beginning, a new game to play

Where's my generation, bankrupt generation?
No manufactured rebels full of piercings and tattoos
Instant gratification fueled by the liars
Now we paid the piper and there's nothing left to lose
