lyrics

Culture has given up;
An overflowing cup of feedback-loop back-reference,
Propaganda-pandering deference, oh.

Culture has given in;
An overspilling bin of pro-bono collateral,
Sets the popular against the factual, come on:

Why? Generation: why?
You floored the sky!
Generation Y.

Culture has been and gone,
Left us without aplomb,
Just a swollen population.
With boredom procreation, oh.

Culture is giving head,
to history instead.
Oh, the layabouts, they drink the drought,
Unaware about their whereabouts, come on:

Why?
Generation: why?
You floored the sky!
Generation Y.
Now I don't try.
I don't even try.
You sucked me dry,
Generation Y.

This decay, this decade, this decadence...
[and, when the day comes,]
I'll know where to go.
This shame, this betrayal, these impediments.
[And then, the day comes:]
Ill - nowhere to go!

Why?
Generation why?
You floored the sky!
Generation why?
Now I don't try.
Generation why?
We'll watch it die,
Generation Y.

Generation why-oh-why-oh-why?
You floored the sky.
Generation.
