(A Homage to) Generation X

Generation X

The last to fly the nest

In an age of echo boomers

I sit alone in my room

And I sit here all day

I quit my job

I was underpaid

Underappreciated

For the dreams I let

Become deflated

All my life I've been waiting

For my life to begin

Is this it

I don't like feeling owned

And I don't live for the annual bonus

And pay towards my pension scheme

Financial security is not a destiny

Generation X

Generation X

Somehow it seems Y equals less than

Generation X

All my life I've been waiting

For my life to begin

Is this it

And all my time I spend surfing

For something to believe in

Where is it

Where is it

Where is it

I've been waiting for a greater love

Whether that be of man or god

To find me here

By this PC

Like a movie

This fantasy deludes me

All my time I spend surfing

For something to believe in

Where is it

Where is it

Where is it

Where is it

Is this it

Ohhh

Generation X

Generation X

Generation X

Generation X

Sometimes it seems Y equals less than

Generation X

Generation X

Somehow it seems Y equals less
