Generation Why Lyrics by André DeSaint

Old Dreams//New Themes

2014

[Verse]

I’ve been thinking that I'm too young
To be feeling the way that I'm feeling
Open my heart emotions are spilling
Somebody listens if Lord is willing
But what if he's not?
Then will I stop?
What kinda nigga would I be?
Bitch I'm committing a robbery
I'm here for everything I see
Yeah it's just me and my posse
And we just came to pay our dues
Screaming out fuck the government views
Give them a day to walk in our shoes
And I bet big bucks that very first strut
Put a cut right through that Achilles
They try to shut us up but we don't give a fuck
Man whats up can you tell me do you feel these
Words of wisdom
Man I been saying we wasn't made to follow no system
Take the big shots and enlist em
Theres too many of us falling victim
In this cold world it's an eye for an eye
A lie for lie
No way to recoup
If they gave us the truth
We wouldn't know what to do
So put your hands in the sky for Generation Y
Or we can watch them sit back and tell our generation lies
We ain't got time for all this waiting
They say exercise your patience
I say look at this shit we facing
The world is mine and I'm gon’ take it



[Outro]

“Goddamn it, an entire generation
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes
Working jobs we hate
So we can buy shit we don’t need
We’re the middle children of history, man
No purpose or place
We’ve got no Great War, no Great Depression
Our Great War is a spiritual war
Our Great Depression is our lives"
