  • From the second that it came to life
    Everything seemed fine
    Things got ease enough for the masses
    But the rest of us lay claim to the same old dangerous ways
    Crossing stars driving expensive cars
    Planning our own parades
    Champagne wishes golden dishes
    People lining up just to scream your name
    People living up to a standard made
    People giving up just to give the blame
    To the same damn people that are giving up
    I say the same to people that are living up
    It's safe to say that I'm not giving it a second thought
    Just to waste it on a pivotal moment that I'm giving up
    Draw back the hammer and I'm swinging it up and bringing it down
    Taking it over my shoulders as high as I can and bringing it down
    Checking for anything left and if I see breath I'm bringing it down
    All back to back and then I'm packing up
    Not looking for a handout gonna be out the door
    And that's how it's gonna pan out

    And you'll watch your bellies go hollow
    When you have no one to follow

    The dividing occupation of
    The binding separation of
    This generation of idiots
    Generation of idiots, generation of idiots

    There wasn't a better idea left to right the righteous
    Left among the rest of us, god damn
    That was a lot to be said
    I'm gonna put this to bed until it never wakes again
    There isn't a better addiction than letting it out
    Without a filter attached to the mouth
    I got 99,000 problems with their very own problems
    Once upon a time people talked to people
    People didn't text, what's coming next?
    Just food and sex, sleep repeat, food and sex
    Follow me 3 simple steps, you want it so damn easy
    Want it handed to you on a golden plate
    While the state of the world goes watergate
    And generation idiot accumulates

    And you'll watch your bellies go hollow
    When you have no one to follow

    The dividing occupation of
    The binding separation of
    This generation of idiots
    Generation of idiots, generation of idiots

    The dividing occupation of
    The binding separation of
    This generation of idiots
    Generation of idiots, generation of idiots

    You have no one to follow

    The dividing occupation of
    The binding separation of
    This generation of idiots
    Generation of idiots, generation of idiots

    You have no one to follow Writer/s: ADAM EUGENE WLOSZYN, BRADLEY CHETER KOCHMIT, ELIAS PABLO SORIANO, LUIS RIVERA, RASHEED WALTER THOMAS ROBERT
