Lyrics
Generation Me (Radio Edit)
Written by William Walbaum
Verse 1
It’s the party of me, the party of I
There’s no real surprise
Caught up in those lies you’re desperate to sell
All about yourself—like it's show and tell
Fight the cause, just because
Energy to do nothing, 'cause you’re lost
Sit and complain, play the blame game
It’s funny how you’re all the same
Chorus
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Just sit there and cry
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Verse 2
As your name becomes a number
You keep getting dumber during the summer
It’s hot—call it climate change
Living through it is such a shame
Although the sea level is rising
It’s the end of the ice age, like it’s surprising
You’re feeling young, you’re feeling bold
As you get old, you’re going to feel the cold
Chorus
Generation Me, Generation I
Why even try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Just sit there and cry
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Lead
Bridge Verse
And as I pull up on the scene
You can call me mean or a human being
That’s seeing the tide rise with lies
And all the abandoned cries
A lost generation
Verse 3
Don’t like me? Don’t think I’ll cry
As you try to take a slice of my pie
Or whatever the government brings
Always contest doing anything
No sense of direction while school is in session
Leaving the impression that you’ll be expressing
This education that’s feeding your brain
Doing what it can to keep you in chains
Chorus
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Sit there and cry
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I cry?
Generation Me, Generation I
Why do I try?
Generation Me, Generation I
Sit there and cry
Generation Me, Generation
Cry
