Blank  Generation  -  Richard  Hell  &  The  Voidoids

I  was  sayin',  "Let  me  out  of  here",  before  I  was

Even  born,  it's  such  a  gamble

when  you  get  a  face

It's  fascinatin'  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

well  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

well  I  belong  to  the  generation  but

I  can  take  it  or  leave  it  each  time  take  it

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

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
