Lyrics

Trying to forget your generation You know all the ways when in what I see The ends must justify the means Your generation don't mean a thing to me I say your generation don't mean a thing to me I say your generation don't mean a thing to me Might take a bit of violence But violence ain't our only stance Might make our friends enemies But we gotta take that chance There ain't no time for substitutes There ain't no time for idle threats Actions are rather hard to place Cause what you give is what you get So that's your generation It's your generation Well it's your generation It's your generation [Guitar Solo] Trying to forget your generation You know all the ways when in what I see The ends must justify the means Your generation don't mean a thing to me I say your generation don't mean a thing to me I say your generation don't mean a thing to me Might take a bit of violence But violence ain't our only stance Might make our friends enemies But we gotta take that chance There ain't no time for substitutes There ain't no time for idle threats Actions are rather hard to place Cause what you give is what you get So that's your generation It's your generation Well it's your generation It's your generation To the end Justify the means To the end Justify the means To the end Justify the means To the end Justify the means It time for generation
