If life is to grow, grow, some life must die
So we could make our new start
When I was seventeen
Here's to the rat-tat-tat
A toast to the end of our innocence
But time blows by
Tryin' to get to the place where we started
Here's to Mickey D's serving
There's still a hole inside of us
Here's to bad cop retreat
After we melted them down
So here's to our collagen lips
Goin' down, round and round
An' judgin' your life is shattered
We learned to see all the corruption and
At four years old, thought the world was joy
A toast to our blank generation
As a kid I'd play, just create the day
A toast to the end of our innocence
Here's to mad cow disease
But time blows by
And all the cheap thrills
We learned to take all the corruption and
Teach us that we're
Been travelin' on the road to nowhere
Even with all the tattoos
Poisoned winds of woe
All its hate, all its pain, so
Corruption and greed
When real cops are on the street
This is the toast to celebrate
Poisoned winds of woe
And we, all its hate, all it's greed, so
The end of our innocence
Been travelin' on the road to nowhere
An' never give it a fuck
Goin' down and goin' down
Here's to the justice never dealt
Instead of ring around the rosie
And strips us to the bone
We play hide from mommy
I would see, too clearly
To the Hollywood world
'Cause mommy's been drinking again
Scared and always wonderin' why
And saline tits
Our blank generation
To innocent, proven guilty
As I saw it my way
All its hate, all its pain, so
Here's to gimme me your cash
Give it back a bit
They say we've been
And antibiotics
And all that yummy MSG
Of what the world's given us
And we don't want to get beat
All those mutant chickadees
Realizin' the world wasn't what she seemed
A toast to our blank generation
Teach us that we're
That may not ever get filled
Or your brains is gettin' splattered
When I was just a boy
So we give back a little bit
Goin' down, round and round
To our growth hormones
We made out of Barbie doll hearts
Tryin' to get to the place where we started
Our blank generation
Our generation
Here's to a generation
Underneath the night, San Francisco sky
A toast to the end of our innocence
We now embrace all the corruption
A toast to the end of our innocence
Instead of playing doctor
Alone in this world
And strips us to the bone
All its hate, all its pain, so
Alone in this world
We play shoot each other and die
How we've become desensitized
While we learned to take all the
This is the toast to celebrate
