the doomed generation

from suicide note by closet monster.

lyrics

this is a call to a generation.
and we scream:
homeless human being running rampant on the street.
a heartless population blindly staring at defeat.
a government attempting to be the world police
and i just want to get stoned
not quite post apocalyptic, but a corporate cesspool nonetheless
bilboards conquering skylines, capitalism's out of hand
their war is about control. fear bombards from cnn.
and i just want to get stoned.
and queen street's your paradise?
did they really think it wouldn't come to this?
gas masks chlorine taps once its gone not coming back
didnt they really think it would come to this
i said no.
cause i want to believe that there is another way
that there is a better way
a call to a generation its time to save history
a call to a generation

"they claim they never wanted anything but to progress the human race, and benefit everyone including them, but slowly the obvious become clear to those they lied to as they watched the world slip through their fingers, the harder they tried to control it. to pieces. to pieces.

our land, the air, the beauty of the life around us: traded in for personal game and company profit.

cause i want to believe that there is another way, that there is a better way
portrait of a machine painted in three shades of grey
never gunna get it back
never gunna press reset
should we all be scared to death?
