Elliott Murphy - Lost Generation lyrics

rate me

The mother of the outlaw thinks about the time he had the mumps

And she's really very sorry

And she hopes this has nothing to do

With the way she brought him up

And the outlaw he lies wounded as the doctor gives the police sergeant a

Nod

And the last words he was saying

Something about I do believe in God

And who divides the oceans

When a generation's lost it's place

And who sets the motion

Of the human race

And the sister of the prostitute

She's trying to find the right way to love

Cause when it gets down to make a living

These days it's pretty hard for a girl to get it up

And the romance on her street corner

He rides around in Eldorado fame

And lately she's been thinking

That what she's been seeing in the movies just ain't the same

And who divides the oceans

When a generation's lost it's place

And who sets the motion

Of the human race

And the legless Vietnam survivor

He's trying to find a job or a wife

Cause he can't find peace with honor

As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life

And the killers still run the country

And they count their money

With their bloodstained hands

And lately I've been thinking

Maybe it s time we really took a stand

And who divides the oceans

When a generation's lost it's place

And who sets the motion

Of the human race
