Generation Idiot (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: Elias Soriano] This song is the first single off of our album, The Poison Red This song is called, "Generation Idiot." Get your hands in the air! Let me hear you! Hey, hey! [Verse 1: Elias Soriano with Rasheed Thomas] From the second that it came to life Everything seemed fine Things got easy enough for the masses But the rest of us lay claim to the same old dangerous ways Crossin' stars, drivin' expensive cars Plannin' our own parades Champagne wishes, golden dishes People linin' up just to scream your name People livin' up to a standard made People givin' up just to give the blame To the same damn people that are givin' up I say the same to people that are livin' 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 givin' up Draw back the hammer And I'm swinging it up and bringin' it down Taking it over my shoulder as high as I can And then bringin' it down Checkin' for anythin' left If I see breath, I'm bringin' it down All back to back, and then I'm packin' up Not looking for a handout, gonna be out the door And that's how it's gonna pan out [Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano] And you'll watch your bellies go hollow When you have no one to follow [Chorus 1: Elias Soriano with B.C. Kochmit, Rasheed Thomas] The dividing occupation of… The binding separation of… This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot) [Verse 2: Elias Soriano, Rasheed Thomas, & B.C. Kochmit] There wasn't a better idea left To write the righteous left among the rest of us (Goddamn) 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 lettin' it out Without a filter attached to the mouth I got ninety-nine-thousand problems (With their very own problems) Once upon a time, people talked to people, people didn't text What's comin' next? Just food and sex Sleep repeat, (Food and sex) follow me, three simple steps You want it so damn easy Want it to you handed on a golden plate (While the state of the world goes Watergate) And Generation Idiot accumulates [Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano] And you'll watch your bellies go hollow When you have no one to follow [Chorus 2: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas] The dividing occupation of… The binding separation of… This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot) Saint Petersburg! [Guitar Solo: B.C. Kochmit] [Chorus 3: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas] The dividing occupation of… The binding separation of… This generation of idiots (Generation Idiot, Generation Idiot) The dividing occupation of… The binding separation of… This generation of idiots [Outro: Elias Soriano] You have no one to follow Idiot You have no one to follow
