Generation Landslide

Generation Landslide - Lizzy Borden

Please clean your plate dear

The Lord above can see ya

Don't you know people are starving in Korea

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles

Kindergarten people

They use'em the need'em

The over indulgent machines were their children

There wasn't a way down on earth here to cool'em

'Cause they look just like humans at kresges and wool worths

But decadent brains were at work to destroy

Brats in battalions were ruling the streets

Sayin' Sayin'

Generation landslide closed the gap between'em

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

Militant mothers hiding in their basement

Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs

While mothers' lib burns birth certificate papers

Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer

Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance

Sister's out'til five doing banker's son's hours

But she owns a maserati that's a gift from his father

Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour

The Colgate invisible shield finally got'em

Ya

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
