Third Generation

Iʼve taken your shit for so long, I quit

You light the match and you clown around

I hope youʼre inside when it all burns down

You wanna be a big shot

So give it up or give or give it all you've got

No reason, you got no soul

You got locked out so you peek through the keyhole

First generation breaks their back

Second one makes the money

Third one throws it all away

Singing everybodyʼs fault, everybodyʼs fault but mine

Everybodyʼs fault but mine

Your granddaddy fought three wars

Sixty-one years and never divorced

One dust bowl and zero complaints

Youʼre strung out on strippers and cocaine

Your old man walked the line

Busted his knuckles on a daily grind

He broke a sweat, you broke the bank

You put it in the water and you watched it sink

First generation breaks their back

Second one makes the money

Third one throws it all away

Singing everybodyʼs fault, everybodyʼs fault but mine

Everybodyʼs fault but mine

He built a home, he built a name

He the built the bridge, you broke the chain

From the sky to the ground

He built it up, you tore it down

Down, down, down, down

First generation breaks their back

Second one makes the money

Third one throws it all away

Singing everybodyʼs fault but mine

First generation breaks their back

Second one makes the money

Third one throws it all away

Singing everybodyʼs fault, everybodyʼs fault but mine

Everybodyʼs fault but mine
