(I just want to be somebody)
(I just want to be somebody)
[Verse 1]
Sally's fallen down
And nobody seems to notice
Her mother got a pile of bills
On the final notice
Her father got a new family
In a new place
As she's concerned
She's practically been erased
From his life
She grabs something sharper
Than a knife
Goes in the bathroom
Shuts the door
Cuts the lights
She opens up her arms
Not because she wants to die
She wants to feel something
She wants to feel alive
The only thing that gives her
And justice from the stress
Is the pain bursting through
The open wounds in her flesh
In bed
She does it on a regular basis
The light's too bright
She can't turn to face it
To hell with my mother
And the dad that never calls me
The cold razor blade
Is the only thing that calms me
Sitting on the bathroom floor
Bleeding the world out
Head spinning dizzy
Nothing matters but the girl now
[Hook]
So how you want us to act
We're the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
You give us pity
But you take it right back
From the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
There ain't no way that we can ever relax
We're the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
Take a picture
Dip it in wax
Of the lost generation
We fell
[Verse 2]
A young man
With no chance to revamp
Heat lamps
Palestine refuge camp
Across the valley
Tel Aviv what he sees
Is prosperity
Sold on color TVs
He can't understand
He prays 5 times a day
The wealth so close
Seems so far away
His house is falling apart
He can't take it
He starts to go to the mosque
And builds hatred
Talks about his life
But nobody seems to listen
Felt like if he died tonight
No one would even miss him
He heard about this older boy
He used to know from school
Blew himself up on the bus
Got his face up on the news
So he knew
What he was gonna be
When he was grown up
I want to be a suicide bomber
Blown up
And sure enough
Steps up on the scene
Scene "Allah Akbar"
Blew himself to smithereens
God damn
[Hook]
So how you want us to act
We're the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
You give us pity
But you take it right back
From the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
There ain't no way that we can ever relax
We're the lost generation
That fell through the cracks
Take a picture
Dip it in wax
Of the lost generation
We fell
