the tragic romantic wears her broken halo as a marionette
full of her nicotine dreams she'll trace out the scent
as her garter snake god is shedding his skin to chase a new trend
my generation tonight will shine
my generation tomorrow is dark
teenage ties will bend with the hour of the shining sons
past-pop youth is worn like a badge of her retro trend
my generation caught like a bride
my generation plied on my name
(in pride it arrives and in sorrow it departs)
my generation tonight will bow
(in pride it arrives and in sorrow it departs)
how could anything ever last
my generation tonight will shine
(in pride it arrives and in sorrow it departs)
my generation tomorrow will turn dark
(in pride it arrives and in sorrow it departs)
my generation tonight will shine
(in pride it arrives and in sorrow it departs)
my generation, my generation
