Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I belong to the Blank Generation, and I can take it or leave it each time, well I belong to the [...] generation, but I can take it or leave it each time [Verse 2] Triangles were falling out 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!" [Chorus] I belong to the Blank Generation, and I can take it or leave it each time, well I belong to the [...] generation, but I can take it or leave it each time, take it [Interlude] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I belong to the Blank Generation, and I can take it or leave it each time, well I belong to the [...] 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, well I belong to the [...] generation, but I can take it or leave it each time [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee-ooh
