My Generation

Jared DuBach
Fighting in the streets;
Setting yards ablaze.

Dragging in the lot;
Irresponsibility sure hits the spot.

The reckless life was their kind of life.
No laws to follow, only rules to break.

There's a New Age revolution.
Generation X is starting the new evolution.

Pop culture rearing its ugly head,
And spitting in the face of the pig.

My generation, changing the way in which we've been led.
Nothing is as it seems.

Now, we're being taught to follow our dreams.
And being taught what The Man wants us to learn.

Now -
It's our turn.

Our turn to teach;
Our turn to preach!

Our turn to fight in the streets;
Our turn to be the irresponsible pigs.

If we're irresponsible now, The Man gets on our backs.
To hell with The Man; and to Hell with the suits.

It's time to fight for what we think is right.
