Beat(En) Generation |
| When you cast your eyes upon the skylines |
| Of this once proud nation |
| Can you sense the fear and the hatred |
| Grwoing in the hearts of its population |
| And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced |
| By the greedy hands of politics and half truths |
| The beaten generation, the beaten generation |
| Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information |
| The beaten generation, the beaten generation |
| Open your eyes, open your imagination |
| 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 you’ve nowhere left to run? |
| Andif 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 that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun |
