Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was sayin' let me out of here before I was even born

It's such a gamble when you get a face

It's fascinating to observe what the mirror does

But when I dine, it's for the wall that I set a place

[Verse 2]

I belong to the blank generation

And I can take it or leave it each time

Well, I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

[Verse 3]

Triangles were fallin' at the window as the doctor cursed

He was a cartoon, long forsaken by the public eye

The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first

The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, God's consolation prize

[Verse 4]

I belong to the blank generation

And I can take it or leave it each time

Well, I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

Take it

[Verse 5]

Ooh

Ooh

[Verse 6]

To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash

Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot

To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks

And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot

[Verse 7]

I belong to the blank generation

And I can take it or leave it each time

Well, I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

[Verse 8]

I belong to the blank generation

And I can take it or leave it each time

Well, I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

[Verse 9]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Wee-ooh
