A rare ray of sun shines through my cheap tint lense and pierces my retina
Drinking black death and so I guess I’m no worse off from where I was
All I need now is a cigarette and I’ll be hip like all the rest
Kids of our broke generation
Walking breathing somewhat living but not so much alive
Most certainly broke broken breaking down or broken up
Broken government
System of fear crashing
They never told us we were puppets
The kids are waking up, waking up
Waking up
Wandering going somewhere where some not knowing but most certainly going
Wondering confused attempts to make the sense for infinite things that haven’t got any
A reality undefined but undeniably crumbling broken
We’re broken
Walking delirious foggy eyed hungover and coming down but most certainly waking up and almost living
Broken government
System of fear crashing
They never told us we were puppets
The kids are waking up waking up
Waking up
