Gen-X Cops

Gen-X Cops - Vampire Weekend

Lyrics by：Ezra Koenig

Composed by：Ezra Koenig/Chris Tomson

Produced by：Ezra Koenig/Chris Tomson/Ariel Rechtshaid

Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe

Forever cursed to live unrelaxed

We make no bones a house is not a home

And a home is nowhere we can stay

Dodged the draft

But can't dodge the war

Forever cursed to live insecure

The curtain drops

A gang of Gen X cops assembles

Trembling before our human nature

It wasn't built for me

It's your academy

But in my time

You taught me how to see

Each generation makes it's own apology

Welcome back my oldest friend

Are you cursed to depart again

Your ways and means eternally obscene

And always looking for obscenity and hatred

It wasn't built for me

It's your academy

But in my time you taught me how to see

Each generation makes it's own apology

It wasn't built for me

It's your academy

But in my time you taught me how to see

Each generation makes it's own apology

It's by design and consequentially

Each generation makes it's own apology
