Generation Loss

You 29 year panic attack And not the fashionable kind The kind where you wake up and say, "Man I just wanna survive" But this world is short on empathy You got out of your parents' place Started making money Crashed your car, and now they want your laces And they gave you just enough To make you feel like you fucked up When you realized you couldn't keep yourself clean Well kid, you're not half bad Could even be more than your dad So why are you complaining If they're not listening? 'Cause we're just so fucking tired Of explaining ourselves We throw a pill down our throats Or ourselves into the ocean 'Cause half our friends are dead The other half are depressed In this budget rate line, and the borderline's looking thin Driving out into the water 'Cause you took that leap of faith All I see is you floating, so I turn my stereo up You're living bender to bender I only saw you when we were high You're finally touching down, and I'm folding But you said, "Enough is not enough" You always feel like you fucked up So what's the point of keeping yourself in line? They won't name you in the papers See you out past the breakers Same smile you've had since you were five 'Cause we're just so fucking tired Of explaining ourselves We throw a pill down our throats Or ourselves into the ocean 'Cause half our friends are dead The other half are depressed In this budget rate line, the borderline's looking thin Life is long enough Didn't think you'd speed it up Feel selfish that we still want you alive The memorial wasn't bad Some people tried to understand Thought you were complaining But we weren't listening 'Cause we're just so fucking tired Of explaining ourselves We throw a pill down our throats Or ourselves into the ocean 'Cause half our friends are dead The other half are depressed In this budget rate line, the borderline's looking thin So we throw ourselves into the ocean
