Blank Generation

Blank Generation - Richard Hell/The Voidoids

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

Well I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin' at

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

Well I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time take it

To hold the TV 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 train of thought

And fall into your arms' tracks

And watch beneath

The eyelids every passing dot

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

Well I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

Well I belong to the generation but

I can take it or leave it each time
