They say we been
  going down and going
  down
  Been traveling on the road
  to nowhere
  Going down, round and
  round
  Trying to get to the place
  where we started
    When I was just a boy
  at four years old thought
  the world was joy
  As a kid I'd play, just
  create the day
  as I saw it my way
    But time blows by
    And strips us to the bone
  poisoned wind of woe
  Teach us that we're
  alone in this world
  We learned to see all the
  corruption and greed
  All its hate, all its pain, so
  a toast to the end of our
  innocence
  A toast to our blank generation
    They say we been
  going down, been going
  down
  Been traveling on the road
  to nowhere
  Going down, round and
  round
  Trying to get to the place
  where we started
    When I was seventeen
  realizing the world wasn't
  what she seemed
  Underneath the night San
  Francisco sky
  I would see, too clearly
    But time blows by
  And strips us to the bone
  poisoned wind of woe
  Teach us that we're
  alone in this world
  We learned to take all the
  corruption and greed
  All its hate, all its pain, so
  a toast to the end of our
  innocence
  A toast to our blank generation
    So here's to our collagen
  lips and saline tits
  To our growth hormones
  and antibiotics
  To the Hollywood world
  we made out of Barbie doll
  hearts
  After we melted them down
  so we could make our new
  start
  Here's to a generation
  scared and always
  wondering why
  Instead of playing doctor,
  we play shoot each other
  and die
  Instead of ring around the
  Rosie, we play hide from
  Mommy
  'Cause Mommy's been drinking
  again and we don't
  want to get beat
  Even with all our tattoos,
  and all our cheap thrills
  there's still a hole inside
  of us that may not ever get
  filled
  So we give back a little bit
  of what the world's given
  us
  Giving back a bit of never
  giving a fuck
    Here's to the justice never
  dealt, to innocent, proven
  guilty
  Here's to bad cops turning
  cheeks when real cops are
  on the street
  Here's to the rat-tat-n-tat
  of gun shots, and your life
  is shattered
  Here's to "Gimme me your
  cash or your brains is
  gettin' splattered"
  Here's to mad cow disease
  and all that yummy MSG
  Here's to Mickey d's serving
  all those mutant chick-a-dees
  This is a toast to celebrate
  the end of our innocence
  This is a toast to celebrate
  how...
  We've become desensitized
  if life is to grow
  some life must die
    We learned to take all the
  corruption and greed
  All its hate, all its pain, so
  a toast to the end of our
  innocence
  our generation
  We now embrace all the
  corruption
  and greed, all its hate, all
  its pain, so
  a toast to the end of our
  innocence
  our blank generation.
