My Generation
Limp Bizkit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only we could fly
Limp Bizkit style
John Otto, take 'em to the Matthews Bridge
Can you feel it?

My g-g-generation
Get up, my g-g-generation
(Are you ready?) Are you ready?
Do you know where you are?

Welcome to the jungle punk, take a look around
It's Limp Bizkit, fuckin' up your town
We downloaded the Shockwave
For all the ladies in the cave to get your groove on

And maybe I'm the one who flew over
The cuckoo's nest, but guess who's next? (Who?)
Generation X (X), generation Strange (Strange)
Sun don't even shine through our window pane (through our window pane)

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

Hey kid, take my advice
You don't want to step into a big pile of shit (shh)
Captain's drunk, your world is Titanic
Floating on the funk, so get your groove on

And maybe I am just a little fucked up
Life's just a little fucked up
Generation X (X), generation Strange (Strange)
Sun don't even shine through our window pane (window pane)

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

We don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

Who gets the blame? (Who gets the blame?)
You get the blame and I get the blame
Who gets the blame? (Who gets the blame?)
You get the blame and I get the blame

But do you think we can fly? (Away, away)
Do you think we can fly? (Away)
Do you think we can fly?
Well I do, I do, fuck

DJ Lethal Bring it on

Oh yeah, come on

So go ahead and talk shit
Talk shit about me
And go ahead and talk shit
About my g-g-generation

'Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation

We don't, don't give a fuck, and
We won't ever give a fuck until you
You give a fuck about me
And my generation





Oh yeah
