Lazy Generation
F-Ups The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the lazy generation no more standing out in line
We are the lazy generation so good at wasting our time

We are the lazy generation
We are the lazy generation
We are the lazy generation now

Stand up and shout we won't be there for you
Stand up and shout we won't be there for you

We are the lazy generation they call us social mutations why
You can just drop dead and die




Nothing we do ever seems to matter just like shit on a silver platter shines
Yeah you know just where we stand

Overall Meaning

The song "Lazy Generation" by F-Ups is a commentary on the younger generation's apathy and rebelliousness towards societal norms. The lyrics emphasize this message, particularly through the repetition of the line "We are the lazy generation." The first verse expresses the feeling that the youth are no longer willing to follow the traditional rules of waiting in line and conforming to societal expectations. The chorus repeats the song's title, highlighting the idea that the younger generation is comfortable wasting their time rather than striving toward goals or making an impact.


The second verse delves deeper into the generational divide, with the older generation labeling the youth as "social mutations." The lyrics are defiant in their response to this criticism, adamantly stating "you can just drop dead and die." As the chorus repeats, it becomes clear that there is a sense of pride and ownership in the label of "lazy generation," emphasizing that the youth are aware of their reputation and are willing to embrace it.


Overall, the song is a commentary on the current state of youth culture and their resistance to traditional forms of authority and societal expectations. It celebrates the younger generation's rebellious attitude and suggests that there is value in doing things differently.
