Generation Idiot Live by Nonpoint Lyrics
[Intro: Elias Soriano]
This song is the first single off of our album, The Poison Red
This song is called, "Generation Idiot."
Get your hands in the air!
Let me hear you!
Hey, hey!
[Verse 1: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas]
From the second that it came to life
Everything seemed fine
Things got easy enough for the masses
But the rest of us lay claim to the same old dangerous ways
Crossin' stars, drivin' expensive cars
Plannin' our own parades
Champagne wishes, golden dishes
People linin' up just to scream your name
People livin' up to a standard made
People givin' up just to give the blame
To the same damn people that are givin' up
I say the same to people that are livin' up
It's safe to say that I'm not giving it a second thought
Just to waste it on a pivotal moment that I'm givin' up
Draw back the hammer
And I'm swinging it up and bringin' it down
Taking it over my shoulder as high as I can
And then bringin' it down
Checkin' for anythin' left
If I see breath, I'm bringin' it down
All back to back, and then I'm packin' up
Not looking for a handout, gonna be out the door
And that's how it's gonna pan out
[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
And you'll watch your bellies go hollow
When you have no one to follow
[Chorus 1: Elias Soriano with B.C. Kochmit, Rasheed Thomas]
The dividing occupation of…
The binding separation of…
This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot)
[Verse 2: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit]
There wasn't a better idea left
To write the righteous left among the rest of us (Goddamn)
That was a lot to be said
I'm gonna put this to bed until it never wakes again!
There isn't a better addiction than lettin' it out
Without a filter attached to the mouth
I got ninety-nine-thousand problems (With their very own problems)
Once upon a time, people talked to people, people didn't text
What's comin' next? Just food and sex
Sleep repeat, (Food and sex) follow me, three simple steps
You want it so damn easy
Want it to you handed on a golden plate
(While the state of the world goes Watergate)
And Generation Idiot accumulates
[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
And you'll watch your bellies go hollow
When you have no one to follow
[Chorus 2: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas]
The dividing occupation of…
The binding separation of…
This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot)
Saint Petersburg!
[Guitar Solo: B.C. Kochmit]
[Chorus 3: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas]
The dividing occupation of…
The binding separation of…
This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot)
The dividing occupation of…
The binding separation of…
This generation of idiots
[Outro: Elias Soriano]
You have no one to follow
Idiot
You have no one to follow
