Blank Generation - Richard Hell & The Voidoids
I was sayin', "Let me out of here", 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 dine,
it's for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
well I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin' 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 yelled,
"God's consolation prize"
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
well I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time take it
To hold the TV to my lips,
the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs
and drop it in the vacant lot
To lose my train of thought
and fall into your arms' tracks
And watch beneath
the eyelids every passing dot
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
well I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
well I belong to the generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
