My Generation

My generation's in a state We're a nation in the gutter Pass the queue for the food bank every day Would you get some bread and butter? I see a single mother signing on Just to keep her baby eating While her teenage son shots gear to fund The lekky and the heating And people say God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for I see the local lads who did smash-and-grabs On tag outside probation I see the demonized and traumatized By social deprivation It's too gеntrified to attempt to die In thе block where life started 'Cause they regenerate every estate To cleanse the working classes And people say God only knows what we're trying for People say God only knows what we're dying for And people say God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for 'Cause we are the dreamers and lovers With nothing to live for but one another God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for God only knows what we're trying for God only knows what we're dying for
