Grim Generation

[Intro: Paul Winchell]

One, two, three

[Verse 1]

Dream killer

Don't be naïve, there's a darkness deep in the stream

Smile and wave as it floats on by

Or dive on in and enjoy the ride (Let me come in)

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a stranger at my door (Knocking)

Toy soldier coming home from war

Now I adore (Darkness)

And out of darkness

[Chorus]

I was born (I was born bittersweet)

So bittersweet (I was born bittersweet)

This grim generation (Ooh)

Got a hold on me (Ah)

This grim generation (Ooh)

Got a hold on me

[Verse 2]

Television's on, paint it black

See the bobber going down, baby, reel it in

Got a monkey on my back, but I'm cool with that

We're right back where we started

Daddy's coming back, let's get started, hey

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a stranger at my door (Knocking)

Toy soldier coming home from war

Now I adore (Darkness)

Like it's all never been done before

At my door (Knocking)

Like it's all never been done before

At my door (Knocking)

[Chorus]

I was born (I was born)

So bittersweet (So bittersweet)

This grim generation (Ooh)

Got a hold on me (Ah)

This grim generation (Ooh)

I was born (I was born bittersweet)

So bittersweet (I was born bittersweet)

This grim generation (Ooh)

Got a hold on me (Ah)

This grim generation (Ooh)

Gotta let it be

[Post-Chorus]

I was born, I came to be

I was born, I came to be

I was born, I came to be

I came to be

[Outro]

I was born

So bittersweet

This grim generation

It's got a hold on me

It's got a hold on me
