all the things they said would happen to you
 

don't you know that they are all coming true
nothing's strange as whaen it seems
you're living out all your worst possible dreams
bad times, worse times, all the times in between
i stumble in the shadow, I tangle in the trees
I've learned my lesson and I learned it again
Iheard what they said, live fast and die stupid
My compass is spinning like a gambling wheel
It takes a hiideous misfortune for to tell how I feel
I threw it all away like shoes in the street
These terrible things will tear me in three
I don't care what time will tell, just
tell me if I might as well be halfway to hell
I'm sick to my skin with silence and doom
I'll break my back, I'll cry on the moon

going nowhere fast

(Hell)
I was sayin' let me outta here before I was even born,
It's such a gamble when you get a face,
It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does,
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.

I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.

Triangles were fallin' at 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!"

I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.

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

I belong to the blank generation,
And I can take it or leave it each time.
I belong to the generation,
But I can take it or leave it each time.
