welcome to my generation
this is your invitation
to an inside look at us

how we don't care anymore
about the issues at the door
just the newest pop song out

or how our teenagers
care more about the stores
than how they’ll pay for all their trendy clothes

its all so different
what will get us back to when
the priorities made sense for all


so welcome to my generation
'cause this is your invitation
to an inside look at...all my f'ed up peers

where the american dream
is to be on MTV
or some other fake as fiction reality show

how will we manage this
when the future lies on us
with all our ignorance
about how the world is and how its supposed to work

oh
this is my generation
we don’t care ‘bout our jobs
or insurance for our cars
just going out and having too much fun

welcome to my generation
this is your invitation
for an inside look at us

were brainwashed by media
and how were supposed to look
no wonder the body image is no good

Its where girls are more concerned
about gossip and TV shows
then where they’ll end up in seven years

And boys want the highest scores
hottest girls and sweetest kicks
but no worries about the college that they pick

oh this is my generation
and this is your invitation
to an inside look at how it goes


there is no Hemingway, Shakespeare or Dickinson
yeah we just have glamour vogue and 17
‘cause this is my generation.
yeah this is my generation
this is my f'ed up generation
