GENERATION
Blog 27 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coz things aint what they seem
view the situation
I know they wanna take control
Sound the early warning
There's something goin down
Generation calling
Come on, come on,come on
you know they never
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
You know, things are never better
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
I know, I know that they never
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
You know, write it in a letter
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
Come on, come on
Use your imagination
to keep your dreams alive
bring it to creation
the only way we can survive
Sound the early warning
There's something goin down
Generation calling
I see you coming
Come on, come on, come on
you know they never
We don't want your reasons
they got on meaning (soul)
No where to go, I don't know
Why you livin blind
Cause we always find
you sure
you sure
you sure
Have no clue
What you do
But now I feel an answer
Guess it's what we know is right
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
You know, things are never better
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
I know, I know that they never
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
You know, write it in a letter
GIVE US WHAT WE WANT
Come on, come on
