Lyrics

I'm a first generation degenerate

Dropped out, messed around for the hell of it

I'm the first in my family to spend years in therapy

And only get worse by the end of it

They say I'm too sensitive

Too this

Too that

Too reckless

Perfectionist

I tell 'em, "It is what it is,"

I am who l am

And you get what you give

And I don't care if I don't have a fancy job

A big shot career

I want to love somebody and breathe fresh air

Without the toxins they're pumping in our atmosphere

And is that so hard?

Is that so bad?

To wanna give love and be loved back?

To wanna to see a world

Where the news ain't sad

And the truth means facts

And the kids aren't high off of laughing gas

That was supposed to help them cope when their big tooth cracked

But now they can't afford to eat 'cause all the side effects

Come with a side debt

Which I'd argue that

Is a product of a failing nation

'Cause all of our information

Is controlled by

An insatiable amount of greed from corporations

With participation from the kings and queens of mass surveillance

No, I won't be quiet or complacent

'Cause if I'm too much, then what the hell is that saying

About the world we're living in

That's making sure we decay

And it's like planned obsolescence

For machines and our brains

And God forbid we're not obedient

Got something to say

About the people making bank

While we're digging our graves

About the people pushing hate like they're the lobby of vapes

Indoctrinating children, one hit and you're saved

Then it's puff, puff, pass on generations of change

And my heart's still bruising, my hope still bleeds

And I swear I'm holding on, but by the hems, not the seams

And everybody's telling me to disconnect and to breathe

But it's a privilege to have peace when I turn off my screen

I'm a degenerate, but shit at least I've got empathy

And I hate that I'm breaking, but I hate what I'd be

If I hardened my heart maybe then they'd be pleased

But hate is just a symptom, apathy's the disease

I'm a first generation degenerate

Dropped out, messed around for the hell of it

I'm the first in my family to spend years in therapy

And only get worse by the end of it

They say I'm too sensitive

Too this

Too that

Too reckless

Perfectionist

I tell 'em, "It is what it is,"

I am who l am

And you get what you give

Oh, ooh

Da-da doo, doo, doo

I'm a first generation degenerate

Da, doo

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm a first generation degenerate

Most days I wake up

Already tired of trying

Like I've been fighting in my sleep and losing time after time

And when I open my eyes

I've already lost my goddamn mind

I'm tired of coping and hoping

That things will just change on their own

I'm tired of being told

I'm broken to no fault of my own

I'm tired of poisoned oxygen

GMOs, and black mold

I'm tired of breathing costing more

Than the weight of my bones

They say, "The house isn't on fire"

But I'm choking on the smoke

Of all our dead dreams, futures, and hopes

And all the friends who disappeared

Without a trace or a note

I'm tired of sleepwalking

Keeping one eye open, one closed

I'm a first generation degenerate

Dropped out, messed around for the hell of it

I'm the first in my family to spend years in therapy

And only get worse by the end of it

They say I'm too sensitive

Too this, too that, too reckless, perfectionist

I tell 'em, "It is what it is,"

I am who l am

And you get what you give

Won't shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Won't give up, give up, give up, give up

Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up

Just to knock it down

Won't shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

Won't give up, give up, give up, give up

Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up

Just to knock it down

I'm a first generation degenerate

Mmhmm

I'm a first generation degenerate
