Broken Generation

He sits and he waits,
Feeling broken and hollow
Hands held close to his face
Screaming, "Why do I bother?"
They'll just tear me down,
Rip me apart, cast aside like a sinner
With no words from the wise
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn,
will you ever learn, learn to listen?
Can you hear them calling?
You'll testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
With arcane eyes you're staring
back at someone with no face!
Can you hear them calling?
She lies there in wait
And feeling so hollow.
Can't find love in this place,
Left alone with her sorrow
All the promises you made
When you stood by her side were so broken
When you threw it away
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn
will you ever learn, learn to listen?
Can you hear them calling?
You'll testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
We'll mobilize, not pacify to save another day
Can you pick up all the pieces of this broken generation (broken generation)?
Can you hear them calling?
The road to hell is paved in good intentions and apathy,
What did you expect when common sense is your enemy?
I'd rather burn alive than drown inside your reality
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear them calling?
You'll testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
We'll climb the walls to scratch the sky to save another day
Can you pick up all the pieces of this broken generation
(pick up all the pieces of this broken generation)?
Can you hear them calling?
