Generations

The Verve Pipe · The Verve Pipe [1999]

I awoke to a threat that was empty

And a grandstand of I'm not through with you yet

A slamming door becomes my punctuation

I escape for a thrill ride with my friends

They agree to be temporary guardians



Man, it's so appreciated, summer day intoxicated

With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wake up



Drink it down, dear brother, their generation smothers you

And we'll leave no trail to discover

Build a callus, sister, they're generation blisters



Another wake up with the morning hung over

We gonna pack up or waste another killer day

Then our heads exploded, overload when we decide



Hello, we're so out of here

Hitchhike to Canada with backpacks full of cigarettes and beer



Man, it's so appreciated, summer day intoxicated

With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wake up



Drink it down, dear brother

Listen up, dear father

Your generation bothers me and I'll leave you to grieve

With my mother

Build a callus, sister, they're generation blisters



Now empty your bottles and open the throttles

There's plenty of fighting ahead

Those fists weren't made for resting your head



Shield your eyes, dear mother, from the pain that hovers

'Round the mess of a man you've uncovered

Drink it down, dear brother

We'll blister
