Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe Forever cursed to live unrelaxed We make no bones A house is not a home And a home is nowhere we can stay
Dodged the draft but can't dodge the war Forever cursed to live insecure The curtain drops A gang of Gen-X cops assembles Trembling before our human nature
It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time, you taught me how to see Each generation makes its own apology
Welcome back, my oldest friend Are you cursed to depart again? Your ways and means Eternally obscene And always looking for obscenity and hatred
It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time, you taught me how to see Each generation makes its own apology
It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time, you taught me how to see Each generation makes its own apology It's by design and consequentially Each generation makes its own apology
