Blank Generation Lyrics by Richard Hell and the Voidoids

Blank Generation

0

[Verse 1]
I was saying "let me out of here" before I was even born
It's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does, but
When I dine, it's for the wall that I set a place
[Chorus]
I belong to the Blank Generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, well
I belong to the [...] generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
[Verse 2]
Triangles were falling out the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon, long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
[Chorus]
I belong to the Blank Generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, well
I belong to the [...] generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time, take it
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot
[Chorus]
I belong to the Blank Generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, well
I belong to the [...] generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the Blank Generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, well
I belong to the [...] generation, but
I can take it or leave it each time
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee-ooh
