Blank Generation (Studio Version)

Some people like to rock, some people like to roll

But me, I like to sit around and satisfy my soul

I like my women short, I like my women tall

And that's about the only thing I really dig at all

I belong to the beat generation

I don't let anything trouble my mind

I belong to the beat generation

And everything's goin' just fine

I was sayin' "let me out of here", before I was

Even born, it's such a gamble when you get a face

It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does

But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place

I belong to the blank generation, and

I can take it or leave it each time, yeah

I belong to the... generation, but

I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin' out the window as the doctor cursed

He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye

The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first

The doctor grabbed my throat, and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"

I belong to the blank generation, and

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the... generation, but

I can take it or leave it each time

To hold the T.V. to my lips, the air so packed with cash

Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot

To lose my trail of thought and fall into your arms' tracks

And watch beneath the eyelids through every passing dot

I belong to the blank generation, and

I can take it or leave it each time, yeah

I belong to the... generation, but

I can take it or leave it each time

Yeah, I belong to Generation X, man

I don't let anything trouble my mind

I belong to the me generation, and

Everything is gonna be just fine

I belong to generation Z

What's that you said?

What's that you're sayin' to me?

Did you say somethin'?
