lirik lagu the the – beat (en) generation (live)
[verse 1]
when you cast your eyes upon the skylines of this once proud nation
can you sense the fear and the hatred
growing in the hearts of its population?
and now youth, oh, youth, are being seduced
by the greedy hands of politics and half truths
[chorus]
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
reared on a diet
of prejudice and misinformation
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
open your eyes
open your imagination
[verse 2]
we’re being sedated by the gasoline fumes and hypnotised by the satellites
into believing what is good and what is right
you may be worshipping the temples of mammon
or lost in the prisons of religion
but can you still walk back to happiness
when there’s nowhere left to run?
[chorus]
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
reared on a diet
of prejudice and misinformation
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
open your eyes
open your imagination
[verse 3]
if they send in the special police
to deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace
then won’t the words sit ill upon their tongues
when they tell us justice is being done
and freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun?
[chorus]
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
reared on a diet
of prejudice and misinformation
the beaten generation
the beaten generation
open your eyes
open your imagination
