Nofx - Generation Z lyrics

I think that our kids will probably see the end of humanity As we know it, cause this world's about to blow it Will they see what they saw in ancient Rome The destruction of the home? Will they see the end of civility? Cause when morality's been blurred, procreation seems absurd And human rights and freedom are just words That have lost all their meaning In a world that is bleating like an animal at slaughter I hope that my daughters never know what it feels like to give up To know the whole world is corrupt To realize that they are really on their own And there's no one left who cares about the future Infected cuts don't need a suture There's a feeling that the human race has seen the checkered flag And the laps that are given are the last ones ever driven And everyone who's still living knows that It's a shame that the Earth will live on but can't give birth To a baby planet where we could start over again We've been divided, we've been bled Like a chicken without a head, running frantically amok Taking but not giving a f**History is just an alibi It's believing every lie man has ever dared to write It's so much easier to see than complex reality A lifetime full of misery and blight So we tell our daughters and sons that they're not the final ones To see this planet as a decent place to live We use a telescope to give them faith to give them hope Anything to help them with their future Cause there's no alternative Kings and queens ruled the land There's more and more lines drawn in the sand Pawns are crooks castles are rooks It's too bad the good books Written for the sub-cla**es to introduce morality Had nothing to do with reality But then again who would have ever read them We read the Par Quran for lunch Eat Old Testaments for a snack And read the Lulla-bible before bed There's no more points of view (It's sad I'm gonna see) When your only thought is food The bible has been replaced with a survival guide (The end of history) That uses perishables instead of parables Because there's no stories left to preach (We don't wanna be) There's no large lessons left to teach anyone Why bother? (The Generation Z) Who are we Are we the intellects, or the insects? (We don't wanna see) We're not the ones who will ever know the answer It's impossible for us to imagine what is right in front of us (A species you and me) I guess that's what makes us think we're human But being human only lets us see a little farther than animals (The end of history) Feel depression from spending most of your life working? (The Generation Z) Try chemicals Chemicals make everything better! (The end of history) Hate, love, morality (The Generation Z) They're just chemical reactions [Generation Z! Generation Z!] Are we just chemically imbalanced ants On chemically fueled rants? It really just comes down to s** and power I bet the last man standing The last human on this planet The last person on the earth Doesn't give a sh** Or have any idea that he or most likely she Is the last one The last person on this planet will f** the dead And die thinking not about why didn't anyone care But why her life was so unfair It's time, it needs to be said I'm sorry to be the one to inform you But man and womankind has unfortunately been pronounced dead
