Generation Lost

Rise Against

Getting trampled under boots of progress

Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces

Now with our backs against the wall

How long 'til we fall?



Do away with all the underprivileged

Their demographic doesn't fit your image

Turn your blind eye when duty calls

How long 'til we fall?



(In with the new)



This is something that you can't ignore

A simple thing worth fighting for

'Cause now they're tearing down our doors



So she screams out the window

"I've had it up to here"

So sick and tired of wondering

Where I'll be next year…



Caring less about the homeless millions

All the petty problems that go with them

Reap the profit that reaps their lives and

Tell me that it's fine



Throw them out and call it relocation

Lower-income-housing quick solution

A generation lost



Now in the whirlwind of my life

Is where you presently reside

Can I pretend you don't exist

Maybe just for ten more minutes?



My hearts been broken into two

And rusted from years of disuse

So will you place upon it your hands

Will you help it beat again?



It seems the whole world's turned on me

(Bound and gagged) in the land of the free

Let's talk this over, this game is over



In with the new, out with the old

Hearts of the world have grown so cold

Let's talk this over, this game is over
