Too much hypocrisy in what is wrong and right
I see it everywhere but still I can't relate
I got to much to do, can't sit around and wait
This world won't pass me by, I'll get all that I need
I'm giving all I have and I won't concede
We're the forgotten generation
But we know what we're living for
We're the forgotten generation
And we don't need you anymore
I'll base my life on what I want and you can't see
Don't analyze the labels that you put on me
I open up my eyes but I'll shut out your voice
You kept me in the dark and never gave me choice
My being different to you still makes me a man
And soon I'm gonna let the world know who I am
We're the forgotten generation
But we know what we're living for
We're the forgotten generation
And we don't need you anymore
I'll take the things I need that you can't understand
I'm getting stronger by the choices I demand
You're living in the past and that's right where you'll stay
I'm in the future and I'm gonna walk my way
In time you'll realize the dreams that we achieved
And give us back respect for what we all believed
We're the forgotten generation
But we know what we're living for
We're the forgotten generation
And we don't need you anymore
I can't find what I want or make sense of this life Too much hypocrisy in what is wrong and right I see it everywhere but still I can't relate I got to much to do, can't sit around and wait This world won't pass me by, I'll get all that I need I'm giving all I have and I won't concede We're the forgotten generation But we know what we're living for We're the forgotten generation And we don't need you anymore I'll base my life on what I want and you can't see Don't analyze the labels that you put on me I open up my eyes but I'll shut out your voice You kept me in the dark and never gave me choice My being different to you still makes me a man And soon I'm gonna let the world know who I am We're the forgotten generation But we know what we're living for We're the forgotten generation And we don't need you anymore I'll take the things I need that you can't understand I'm getting stronger by the choices I demand You're living in the past and that's right where you'll stay I'm in the future and I'm gonna walk my way In time you'll realize the dreams that we achieved And give us back respect for what we all believed We're the forgotten generation But we know what we're living for We're the forgotten generation And we don't need you anymore Explain Request ×
