Generation Lyrics by States

Room to Run

2012

[Verse 1]
I hope you brought your clever eyes
You better fill it up, we're driving 'til the sun gets tired
Forget about the worrying, it don't concern us anymore
When it comes down to it, nothing's gonna stop us with the pedal at the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Labeled as a sucker in the new generation
Doesn't even matter 'cause we like it better singing

[Chorus]
Hey, we're doing what we wanted
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to
Hey, we're living like we ought to
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to

We're out to get what we desire
But they think it's so bizarre, and it is adding to the fire
We're finding out the better ways, and learning more than we were told of before
Don't believe in what they're saying, 'cause the fame is really what they're coming for

[Pre-Chorus]
Labeled as a sucker in the new generation
Doesn't even matter 'cause we like it better singing

[Chorus]
Hey, we're doing what we wanted
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to
Hey, we're living like we ought to
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to

[Bridge]
Maybe I'll learn a bit
Don't need advice when I can live it out, live it out
And the lines on the road are only to escape from
Only to escape

[Chorus]
Hey, we're doing what we wanted
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to
Hey, we're living like we ought to
I'll take my life where I'm supposed to

[Outro]
Living like we're supposed to
Living like we're supposed to
Hey, like we're supposed to
Hey, like we're supposed to
