Lyrics

Generation

I'm sick of all this waiting And people telling me What I should be What if I'm not so crazy? Maybe you're the one who's wrong Not me

So what you gonna do What you gonna say When we're standing on top And do it our way? You say we got no future You're living in the past So listen up That's my generation

(Hey ho, let's go) It's going down tonight (Hey ho, let's go) We're gonna do it till we die (Hey ho, let's go) 'Cause I, I, I've got no reason to apologize That's my generation

I don't need to say I'm sorry I do what everybody wants to do It's not so complicated 'Cause I know you want the same thing too

So what you gonna do What you gonna say When we're standing on top And do it our way? You say we got no future You're living in the past So listen up That's my generation

(Hey ho, let's go) It's going down tonight (Hey ho, let's go) We're gonna do it till we die (Hey ho, let's go) 'Cause I, I, I've got no reason to apologize That's my generation

Listen

Don't need to say I'm sorry

It's not so complicated 'Cause I know you want the same thing too

(Hey ho, let's go) It's going down tonight (Hey ho, let's go) We're gonna do it till we die (Hey ho, let's go) 'Cause I, I, I've got no reason to apologize That's my generation

(Hey ho, let's go) That's my generation (Hey ho, let's go) We're gonna do it till we die (Hey ho, let's go) 'Cause I, I, I've got no reason to apologize That's my generation
