The - The Beat Generation lyrics
rate meWhen you cast your eyes upon the skylines<br />
Of this once proud nation<br />
Can you sense the fear and the hatred<br />
Grwoing in the hearts of it's population<br />
<br />
And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced<br />
By the greedy hands of politics and half truths<br />
<br />
The beaten generation, the beaten generation<br />
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information<br />
The beaten generation, the beaten generation<br />
Open your eyes, open your imagination<br />
<br />
We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes<br />
And hypnotised by the satellites<br />
Into believing what is good and what is right<br />
<br />
You may be worshipping the temples of mammon<br />
Or lost in the prisons of religion<br />
But can you still walk back to happiness<br />
When you've nowhere left to run?<br />
<br />
Andif they send in the special police<br />
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace<br />
<br />
Then won't the words sit I'll upon their tongues<br />
When they tell us justice is being done<br />
And that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun
