Tekst Utworu

[Verse 1]
Down in the basement of an empty house
Selling darkness is an easy pitch
Passing a torch, long-burned out
Hoping nobody flips the switch
[Verse 2]
Cold cinders in my hands, cinders in my pockets
God help me, I remember the flame
Well, the warmth of the embers was gone when I got it
But I got it just the same
[Verse 3]
It's just too far to go in hand-me-down shoes
The generation blues
[Verse 4]
Well, my father was a general, pain in the ass
And I was a private disgrace
I must've huffed a lot of chemicals polishing the brass
'Cause I never could act my age
[Verse 5]
Yeah, choir boys, flyboys, look-you-in-the-eye-boys
Talkin' how the war was won
A black and white photo of the soda pop king
Grinning like a son of a gun
[Verse 6]
And it's just too far to go in these hand-me-down shoes
The generation blues
[Verse 7]
Angels fly, but a saint's gotta walk
Gotta wake up in the morning and choose
Take a little sugar, take a little salt
Go make it on the avenue
[Verse 8]
I got a key in my hand, a key in my pocket
Looking for a room with a view
Well, the door's unhinged and there ain't no lock
And no telling now who's coming through
[Verse 9]
Just too far to go in these hand-me-down shoes
The generation blues
[Verse 10]
Well, the trash got tossed while I was sleeping
Look what these kids can do
What's lost wasn't worth the cost of keeping
So let's just start anew
[Verse 11]
I got nothing in my hands, nothing in my pockets
I threw away the little that's left
Well, if you ain't tried it, don't try to knock it
There's better things up ahead
[Verse 12]
And it's just too far to go in these hand-me-down shoes
The generation blues
