EVERY GENERATION
It seems we?ve found a system
To turn people out like pistons on a line;
And people aren?t people
They?re just numbers on an endless sea of time
And if you grow up different
They look at you as if you were a crime
Cause you can?t count numbers and you won?t swim in their sea of time
chorus
Every generation thinks its dreams have never been dreamt before
And every generation thinks that it alone can end all wars
And every generation grows older quicker
But I?m not so sure what every generation is generated for.
Now if you turn to Jesus
And worship the things the Good Book said,
You will find they break all of His rules
And write their own instead.
Their God is a TV set
Keeps pounding at their heads
The calories are counted and the Lone Ranger is dead.
chorus
Every generation thinks its dreams have never been dreamt before
And every generation thinks that it alone can end all wars
And every generation grows older quicker
But I?m not so sure what every generation is generated for.
Young John tried to save them,
But they shot you down in your prime;
Shiftless numbered fools
Drifting through an endless sea of time
Where every day is an eternity with no reason or rhyme
And maybe this generation
Will put an end to yours and mine
chorus
Every generation thinks its dreams have never been dreamt before
And every generation thinks that it alone can end all wars
And every generation grows older quicker
But I?m not so sure what every generation is generated for
? What every generation is generated for m-m-m oh oh oh
Their God is a TV set keeps pounding at their heads
The calories are counted and the Lone Ranger is dead
