D-DU-UDU
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 die it's to the wall that I set my face
I belong to the blank generation, and
I can take it or leave it each time, well
I belong to the ----- generation
I can take it or leave it each time
Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
Triangles falling 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 said, "God's consolation prize!"
Oooo oooo oooo oooo(same notes as chords)
(repeat)
To hold the TV to my lips, the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in your vacant--lot
Then lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks
And hold beneath my eyelids every passing thought
quietly)
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Waah oooooooo
