PUNK:
You declared you would be three inches taller
You only became what we made you
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
You only earned what we gave you
 
You fell and cried as the people were starving
Now you know that we blame you
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving
Now you know what we framed you
 
GODFATHER:
I'm the guy in the sky
Flying high, flashing eyes
No surprise I told lies
I'm the punk in the gutter
 
I'm the new president
But I grew and I bent
Don't you know, don't it show
I'm the punk with the stutter
 
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
 
PUNK:
We tried to speak between lines of oration
You could only repeat what we told you
Your axe belongs to a dying nation
They don't know that we own you
 
You're watching movies trying to find the feelers
You only see what we show you
We're the slaves of a phoney leader
Breathe the air we have blown you
 
GODFATHER:
I'm the guy in the sky
Flying high, flashing eyes
No surprise I told lies
I'm the punk in the gutter
 
I'm the new president
But I grew and I bent
Don't you know, don't it show
I'm the punk with the stutter
 
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
 
I have to be careful not to preach
I can't pretend that I can teach
And yet I live your future out
By pounding stages like a clown
 
And on the dance floor broken glass
The bloody faces slowly pass
The numbered seats in empty rows
It all belongs to me, you know
 
PUNK:
You declared you would be three inches taller
You only became what we made you
Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
You only earned what we gave you
 
You fell and cried as the people were starving
Now you know that we blame you
You tried to walk on the trail we were carving
Now you know what we framed you
 
GODFATHER:
I'm the guy in the sky
Flying high, flashing eyes
No surprise I told lies
I'm the punk in the gutter
 
I'm the new president
But I grew and I bent
Don't you know, don't it show
I'm the punk with the stutter
 
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
M-m-m-my g-g-g-generation
