Generation

from Attachment by Manzo

lyrics

I’m a son of the greatest generation
Who gave it all for our liberation
As I raise a glass and do a peace sign
I wonder what would happen next time

A second of your time, situation critical
Pay attention you texting habitual
With technology we should be progressing
But as human beings we’re just regressing

You’re a child of the spoon-fed generation
Entitlement, fame, expectation, admiration
No need to learn, life’s so easy
Graduate with honours from Google university

How would you cope with total war?
Not that bullshit game from your Xbox store
Hardcore brutality that cannot be ignored
Enough of the selfies, you social media whore

Electronic junkie will you be a casualty?
Defending your country, not virtual but reality
Flat battery and you’re at their mercy
Don’t look for mommy, here comes the artillery

I’m a son of the greatest generation
Who gave it all for our liberation
As I raise a glass and do a peace sign
I wonder what would happen next time

Put down your device and stop your decline
Experience the real world, in real time
It’s humanity, not shoot ‘em up fantasy
Worth saving from catastrophe

I’m a son of the greatest generation
Who gave it all for our liberation
As I raise my glass and do a peace sign
I wonder what would happen next time

I’m a son of the greatest generation
They gave it all for our liberation
As I raise my glass and do a peace sign
I wonder what will happen next time
