Generation Gone by Techno Westerns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're compensating for a mess-never really your own
Travel the world, you never found your "home"
Your conversation, is surely lacking in a little depth
Take a step back they never noticed you left
[Pre-Chorus]
And the kids just want to cut their hearts out
Nihilism matters when you’re playing with knives now
Let their money roll
Let their money roll
And these "kids don't make the songs like they used to."
Times are ever changing, were we really supposed to?
Let the money roll
Our future's in a hole
[Chorus]
You work with ways of old
You call us crass and cold
Go on and on
We’re just a generation gone
Hybrids of what you say
And the socially risqué
You go on and on
We're just a generation gone
[Verse 2]
It's not the nineties
Not the one they lived
Not the one we learnt
Romanticised cause the truth has been burnt
We killed the country
With avocado toast
And our telephones
Got no job, to pay our schooling loans
[Pre Chorus]
"And the kids just want to see the world burn."
Take a second think before you speak out of your turn
Let their money roll
Let their money roll
"And these kids don't seem to be that peaceful"
God forbid they think that everyone is equal
Let their money roll
It's us that pay the toll
[Chorus]
You work with ways of old
You call us crass and cold
Go on and on
We're just a generation gone
Hybrids of what you say
And the socially risqué
You go on and on
We're just a generation gone
[Bridge]
Race, and gender, guns and homes
Poor need healthcare, Sherlock Holmes
Count my fingers read my lips
[Chorus]
You work with ways of old
You call us crass and cold
Go on and on
We're just a generation gone
Hybrids of what you say
And the socially risqué
You go on and on
We’re just a generation gone
You're compensating for a mess-never really your own
Travel the world, you never found your "home"
Your conversation, is surely lacking in a little depth
Take a step back they never noticed you left
[Pre-Chorus]
And the kids just want to cut their hearts out
Nihilism matters when you’re playing with knives now
Let their money roll
Let their money roll
And these "kids don't make the songs like they used to."
Times are ever changing, were we really supposed to?
Let the money roll
Our future's in a hole
[Chorus]
You work with ways of old
You call us crass and cold
Go on and on
We’re just a generation gone
Hybrids of what you say
And the socially risqué
You go on and on
We're just a generation gone
[Verse 2]
It's not the nineties
Not the one they lived
Not the one we learnt
Romanticised cause the truth has been burnt
We killed the country

You work with ways of old
You call us crass and cold
Go on and on

You go on and on
We're just a generation gone
[Bridge]

We're just a generation gone
Hybrids of what you say
And the socially risqué
You go on and on
We’re just a generation gone
