Blank Generation

Richard Hell

I was saying let me out of here before I was
Even born
It's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinating 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
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
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

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
I belong to the blank 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
I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
