Lyrics
Well, people try to put us down Talkin' bout my generation Just because we get around Talkin' bout my generation The things they do look awful cold Talkin' bout my generation I hope I die before I get old Talkin' bout my generation My generation Why don't you all just fade away? Talkin' bout my generation And don't try to dig what we all say Talkin' bout my generation I'm not trying to cause a big sensation Talkin' bout my generation I'm just talkin' bout my generation Talkin' bout my generation My generation Heineken, fuck that shit! Why don't you all just fade away? Talkin' bout my generation And don't try to dig what we all say Talkin' bout my generation I'm not trying to cause a big sensation Talkin' bout my generation I'm just talkin' bout my generation Talkin' bout my generation My generation Talkin' bout my generation Talkin' bout my generation Generation Talkin' bout my generation Talkin' bout my generation
