My Generation- Spoonboy
well the authorities called me up, and said "you may well end up in prison,"
i said "i may well, but you know i'll run away before then."
they said "you know we'll catch you," i said, "nah, you wouldn't know where to start,
you may well put me in prison, but you won't ever touch my heart."
my heart, my heart, my heart, my heaart, my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart.
they say that kids my age think that they're invincible,
well that seems foolish, but i still know i'll never die,
and it seems to be invincible all you've got to do is stay alive,
and i can do that on my own terms, stay out the conversation,
[on this next part your strum the 1st and let it ring and then hit it again so it stops]
because your laws mean shit to me,
they're just arbirtrary guidelines of absolutist ideology,
and it seems to me when you're the ones out killing in the streets,
you've got no right to tell me what to do if i wanna be free.
because i'm not your property.
nah, i belong to me.
they say my generation don't stand up for what we believe in,
i think it's all cuz we've been told just what to do right from the start,
don't break the guidelines given, believe in television,
well we still know what we believe when it comes pouring out our hearts.
[("our hearts") over intro twice to end]
