Television - Blank Generation (Live) lyrics

rate me

(Hell)<br />

I was sayin' let me outta here before I was even born,<br />

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 />

I belong to the blank generation,<br />

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

I belong to the generation,<br />

But I can take it or leave it each time.<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 />

I belong to the blank generation,<br />

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

I belong to the generation,<br />

But I can take it or leave it each time.<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 />

I belong to the blank generation,<br />

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

I belong to the generation,<br />

But I can take it or leave it each time.
