Lyrics:

They say we been

going down and going

down

Been traveling on the road

to nowhere

Going down, round and

round

Trying to get to the place

where we started

When I was just a boy

at four years old thought

the world was joy

As a kid I'd play, just

create the day

as I saw it my way

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone

poisoned wind of woe

Teach us that we're

alone in this world

We learned to see all the

corruption and greed

All its hate, all its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

A toast to our blank generation

They say we been

going down, been going

down

Been traveling on the road

to nowhere

Going down, round and

round

Trying to get to the place

where we started

When I was seventeen

realizing the world wasn't

what she seemed

Underneath the night San

Francisco sky

I would see, too clearly

But time blows by

And strips us to the bone

poisoned wind of woe

Teach us that we're

alone in this world

We learned to take all the

corruption and greed

All its hate, all its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

A toast to our blank generation

So here's to our collagen

lips and saline tits

To our growth hormones

and antibiotics

To the Hollywood world

we made out of Barbie doll

hearts

After we melted them down

so we could make our new

start

Here's to a generation

scared and always

wondering why

Instead of playing doctor,

we play shoot each other

and die

Instead of ring around the

Rosie, we play hide from

Mommy

'Cause Mommy's been drinking

again and we don't

want to get beat

Even with all our tattoos,

and all our cheap thrills

there's still a hole inside

of us that may not ever get

filled

So we give back a little bit

of what the world's given

us

Giving back a bit of never

giving a fuck

Here's to the justice never

dealt, to innocent, proven

guilty

Here's to bad cops turning

cheeks when real cops are

on the street

Here's to the rat-tat-n-tat

of gun shots, and your life

is shattered

Here's to "Gimme me your

cash or your brains is

gettin' splattered"

Here's to mad cow disease

and all that yummy MSG

Here's to Mickey d's serving

all those mutant chick-a-dees

This is a toast to celebrate

the end of our innocence

This is a toast to celebrate

how...

We've become desensitized

if life is to grow

some life must die

We learned to take all the

corruption and greed

All its hate, all its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

our generation

We now embrace all the

corruption

and greed, all its hate, all

its pain, so

a toast to the end of our

innocence

our blank generation
