Countrygirl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 My generation is zero. I never made it as a working class heroI was made of poison and blood. Oh dream, American dream. I can't leave and see from rainstorms 'til dawn. Oh bleed, America bleed. Believe what you read from heroes and cons.When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins There's a disturbance on the Oceanside They tapped into the reserve The static response is so unclear now Mayday this is not a test! As the neighborhood burns, American is falling Vigilantes warning you Calling Christian and Gloria Part II: Modern World I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I'm the class of 13 In the era of dissent A hostage of the soul On a strike to pay the rent The last of the rebels Without a common ground I'm gonna light a fire Into the underground I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I don't want to live in the modern world I am a nation Without bureaucratic ties Deny the allegation as it's written I want to take a ride to the great divide Beyond the "up to date" And then neo-gentrified The high definition for the low resident Where the value of your mind Is not held in contempt I can hear the sound of A beating heart That bleeds beyond a system That's falling apart With money to burn On a minimum wage 'Cause I don't give a shit About the modern age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 So many amazing lyrics in this album! These caught my earI drank the water from a hurricaneAnd I set a fire just to see the flameWell it's enough to make you sickTo cast a stone and throw a brickSilence is the enemy against your urgencySo rally up the demons of your soulWell I don't give a shit about the modern age!Well call the assassin, the orgasmA spasm of love and hate ()Desperate, but not hopelessI feel so useless in the murder cityYou are the moonlight of my life every nightI'm not fucking aroundI think I'm coming outI'm a hater, a traitorIn a pair of Chuck Taylors right nowThe sirens of decayWill infilitrate the faith fanaticsLittle girl, little girl, why are you crying?Inside your restless soul your heart is dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
