The world gets run by political thugs who think they know it all

They stuff around with nuclear too powerful for us all

They fill the air with chemicals to keep their families fed

We were born innocent, but we were born Generation X.

What's the future hold for the people of tomorrow?

Do we keep dreaming, thinking it's going to be okay?

We've got to something before it's too late

Our house gets run by TV, hope our brains don't rot

They fill our shops with cigarettes

And hope that we don't choke

They live their lives, their time is up

They don't care what they do

We were born innocent

But we were born Generation X.
