Richard Hell - Blank Generation lyrics

rate me

I was sayin', "Let me out of here", before I was<br />

Even born, it's such a gamble when you get a face<br />

It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does<br />

But when I dine, it's for the wall that I set a place<br />

<br />

I belong to the blank generation and<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

I belong to the [unverified] generation but<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

<br />

Triangles were fallin' at the window as the doctor cursed<br />

He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye<br />

The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first<br />

The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize"<br />

<br />

I belong to the blank generation and<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

I belong to the [unverified] generation but<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

<br />

To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash<br />

Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot<br />

To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks<br />

And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot<br />

<br />

I belong to the blank generation and<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

I belong to the [unverified] generation but<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

<br />

I belong to the blank generation and<br />

I can take it or leave it each time<br />

I belong to the [unverified] generation but<br />

I can take it or leave it each time
