Your Generation Lyrics by Generation X

Anthology

1978

Tryin' to forget your generation
Usin' any way I see!
Well, the end must justify the means
I said, your generation don't mean a thing to me!
I said, your generation don't mean a thing to me!
I said, your generation don't mean a thing to me!

It might take a bit of violence
But only violence ain't our stance
It might make our friends enemies
But we gotta take that chance!
Well, there ain't no time for substitutes!
Well, there ain't no time for idle threats!
Well, actions are rather hard to place
'Cause what you give is what you get!

It's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!

[Guitar Solo]

Unh

Tryin' to forget your generation
Usin' any way I see!
Well, the end must justify the means
Your generation don't mean a thing to me
I said, your generation don't mean a thing to me!
I said, your generation don't mean a thing to me!

Might take a bit of violence
But only violence ain't our stance
Might make our friends enemies
But we gotta take that chance!
Well, there ain't no time for substitutes!
Well, there ain't no time for idle threats!
Well, actions are rather hard to place
'Cause what you give is what you get!

It's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!
Well, it's your generation!

Well, the end must justify the means! (It's time your generation's gotta end!)
I said, the end must justify the means! (It's time your generation's gotta end!)
I said, the end must justify the means! (It's time your generation's gotta end!)
I said, the end must justify the means! (It's time your generation's gotta end!)

Unh

Well, it's time, it's time your generation's gotta end!
It's gotta end, it's time your generation's gotta end!
I said, it's time your generation's gotta end!
Your generation!
