Millennial by Xombie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Books in the library lookin' kind of dusty, pages only turn when I swipe right on Buzzfeed
Wrote a letter to my country with hashtags, emojis, hoping we become free
But I never got so lucky 'cause change never came from the White House's dumb tweets
Front page is must read, it's corrupt leaks, so I trust me
It's nice to meet ya, they call me a millenial
Born in '84 I'm a YouTube General
I got stats skyrocket through the roof, any minute my fame can go poof
So mister teacher go ahead and yell
'Cause I got you on my camera, the world I'm about to tell
Teachers ain't allowed to teach, none allowed to fail
So I better pass the class or I'll send that ass to jail
Ha! A duckface can get that Elmer Fudd blown out your socket
Maylaysian Airlines, will get you blown out the cockpit
And all this connection, there's no one who's found it?
Man, it's a rise of the machines
A half past a quarter and a dollar for a dream, but it's not what is seems
The president is black but Obama's got a team
So it's not what it seems, it's not what it seems
[Chorus]
This time we gon' do it again, we're gonna go
Do it again, we're gonna go
We're gonna go hard, fight long, only if you die strong
This time we gon' do it again, we're gonna go
Do it again, we're gonna go
We're gonna go hard, fight long, only if you die strong
[Verse 2]
The revolution this time, don't even need to be televised
The mark of the beast, four digits and then unlocks
Watch your device and you see it just happen live
Scroll through the next feed, Ebola is the recipe
Black lives matter but America done lost a dream
My last dollar helped the poor to eat
You Snap a chat of snapback Pradas on a dog to be seen
I admit that I'm lost at sea, but it seems to me this generation lost all of its decency
'Cause recently, man I just come to see, it's disgusting to me
This life got taken by the touch of a screen
Newsfeed flooded by the guns of police
This life got taken by the touch of a screen, don't believe what you read
It's not what it seems
[Chorus]
This time we gon' do it again, we're gonna go
Do it again, we're gonna go
We're gonna go hard, fight long, only if you die strong
This time we gon' do it again, we're gonna go
Do it again, we're gonna go
We're gonna go hard, fight long, only if you die strong
[Bridge]
Society has reached a level of content with a mask over their eyes
Deception of use, freedom of speech in between each of their lies
With our iPhones and our Galaxys that be showin' some shooting stars
In the sky or media trends of bullets to pull us apart
Hashtag, fuck you
Fuck the trends, start seeing the truth, unbelievable
With a hashtag, and a fuck you
Fuck the trends, start seeing the truth, unbelievable
Lost in time, I need some peace of mind
Lost in time, need some peace of mind
On the darkest of days I need some peace of mind
Your eyes are closed, but you lead the blind
Read the signs
