Generation — The Verve

I awoke to a threat that was empty, and a grandstand of I'm not through with you yet  A slamming door becomes my punctuation  I escape for a thrill ride with my friends, they agree to be temporary guardians

Man, it's so appreciated, summer day intoxicated  With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wakeup

Drink it down, dear brother, their generation smothers you  And we'll leave no trail to discover  Build a callus sister, they're generation blisters  Another wakeup with the morning hung over, we gonna pack up or waste another killer day  Then our heads exploded, overload when we decide

Hello... we're so out of here, hitchhike to Canada with backpacks full of cigarettes and beer

Man, it's so appreciated, summer day intoxicated  With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wakeup

Drink it down, dear brother..  Listen up dear father, your generation bothers me and I'll leave you to grieve  With my mother  Build a callus sister, they're generation blisters

Now empty your bottles and open the throttles, there's plenty of fighting ahead  Those fists weren't made for resting your head

Shield your eyes, dear mother, from the pain that hovers  Round the mess of a man you've uncovered  Drink it down, dear brother...  We'll blister
