Am I a product of my generation, so bored and confused?

Lacking motivation in everything I'm expected to do

But when she doesn't show me any love

I start to wonder what I am made of

Less than zero

Looking through the want ads with the hopes I can appease her (appease her)

Living paycheck to paycheck ain't her ideal future (future)

But when she doesn't show me any love

I start to wonder what I am made of

Less than zero

She keeps on telling me I'm so impractical

Leaving us without stability

But when I see some dumb kids come along

Making a living writing stupid songs (stupid songs)

Well?

Everybody wants to get a piece of the action

But there ain't enough, ain't enough to go around

It brings me back to square one

And now I really feel like I'm such a bum

Less than zero

Oh-oh-oh, less than zero

Oh-oh-oh, less than zero

Oh-oh-oh, less than zero

Oh-oh-oh, less than zero
