Generation Y
Trans by: Mark Cheney
Chorus
G Bm
Generation Y with a jaundiced eye,
I don't know what I'm doing here,
Em
Motivate and make us grow,
G D G
Let it go and watch us die,
Bm
Generation Y with a wounded eye
Em G D
G
In a post-modern shed on the edge of town
Bm
The workforce rallies with a weary frown
Em
All they want to do is burn it down
C D
Sick of this and week to payday,
G
Taking orders from a sacred cow
Bm
A revolution with an empty round,
Em
Jesus Christ wouldn't draw a crowd,
C D
I slept like a pig through Mayday.
(Chorus)
G Em D
G
This world makes me feel undressed,
Bm
Encourages me to get depressed,
Em
Drugs me up until I'm powerless,
C D
Steals the wheel I was holding onto,
G
Offers something that I can't resist
Bm
Between a clenched fist and a kiss
Em
Like a smokescreen in the mist
C D
Three cheers 'cause I belong to...
(Chorus)
G Bm
Generation Y with a lazy eye.
Em D G
Ask Generation Y, you'll get no reply.
G Bm Em G D (repeat, fade)
