Blank Generation They say we been going down and going down Been traveling on the road to nowhere Going down, round and round Trying to get to the place where we started When I was just a boy at four years old thought the world was joy As a kid I'd play, just create the day as I saw it my way But time blows by And strips us to the bone poisoned wind of woe Teach us that we're alone in this world We learned to see all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence A toast to our blank generation They say we been going down, been going down Been traveling on the road to nowhere Going down, round and round Trying to get to the place where we started When I was seventeen realizing the world wasn't what she seemed Underneath the night San Francisco sky I would see, too clearly But time blows by And strips us to the bone poisoned wind of woe Teach us that we're alone in this world We learned to take all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence A toast to our blank generation So here's to our collagen lips and saline tits To our growth hormones and antibiotics To the Hollywood world we made out of Barbie doll hearts After we melted them down so we could make our new start Here's to a generation scared and always wondering why Instead of playing doctor, we play shoot each other and die Instead of ring around the Rosie, we play hide from Mommy 'Cause Mommy's been drinking again and we don't want to get beat Even with all our tattoos, and all our cheap thrills there's still a hole inside of us that may not ever get filled So we give back a little bit of what the world's given us Giving back a bit of never giving a fuck Here's to the justice never dealt, to innocent, proven guilty Here's to bad cops turning cheeks when real cops are on the street Here's to the rat-tat-n-tat of gun shots, and your life is shattered Here's to "Gimme me your cash or your brains is gettin' splattered" Here's to mad cow disease and all that yummy MSG Here's to Mickey d's serving all those mutant chick-a-dees This is a toast to celebrate the end of our innocence This is a toast to celebrate how... We've become desensitized if life is to grow some life must die We learned to take all the corruption and greed All its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence our generation We now embrace all the corruption and greed, all its hate, all its pain, so a toast to the end of our innocence our blank generation. 12. Trephination I used to want to take a drill to my head Let the pain out of the hole I used to want to cut the veins in my neck Cool the blood boiling my soul When I wondered, why my daily headaches thundered Tried to buffer, pushing down the pain I suffered Mutilated, feeling so humiliated Cannot wash the dirt off underneath my skin There was a part of me left far behind When at the age of five years old I had my innocence taken from me Emptiness would fill the hole Now a second grader, thinking why I don't feel better Why I'm filthy, why the hell I feel so guilty When drawing stick men of pornographic men and women Thinking all the time there's something wrong with me Everyday for three years from dawn 'til dusk a migraine would take me and break me And it'd cripple me so much that In dreams, it'd seem, with a hole in my temple that I could probably make my headaches finally go away Trephination Trephination The enemy inside of me won't let me free wants me to bleed And after three years now my headaches wear off For reasons not quite to me known The acupuncture needles sticking my skin Pushed them down as far as they'd go But now I'm older and now inside my anger smolders from depression, to fighting Taking out my vengeance Consequences, now I'd question during sex if ... Is this how it fucking feels or am I faking it ? No longer the child that you left there at the bart tracks I'm now at 17, left in an empty blackness On drugs, with thugs, and thinking "Goddamn ?" I'm ending up in a failure, in the gutter passed out Trephination Trephination This enemy inside of me won't let me free wants me to bleed Now I'm older and in this man an anger smolders Now I'm thinking a hole in you is what I'm seeing Your depression, is the dent I kick in you in vengeance Consequences are the pain I'd give to you I know that I'm dreaming, but in this dream I go in go through it, and end it And though I'd never do it I'm killing you, hand on the trigger - pull it Your final thought'll be a bullet in your fuckin' head Trephination Trephination This enemy inside of me I'm now killing to make me free. 13. Deafening Silence She looked right into my eyes and said to me The hurt that you try to hide is killing me You drink a thousand lies, to freeze the past in time I've tried to fill this silence up But now it's back again See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life She says that I'm insecure, I guess she's right 'Cause just when I think I'm sure, alone at night the agonies come back, this pain won't let me be I try to fill the silence up but now it's back again See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence to stop killing me It's deafening it's deafening this silence inside me I try to fill the silence up but now it's back again It's empty like a suicide this pain inside See the pain in my eyes see the scars deep inside My God, I'm down in this hole again With the laughter I smile with the tears that I cry Keep going down this road called life Don't need your sympathy I just want for this silence to stop killing me. 14.
