|
And people tried to put us down |
|
When iTunes bumped a post-Cold War sound |
|
My generation sat at the Mecca of malls, |
|
Times Square, I'm there, Viacom installs |
|
So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell |
|
New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell |
|
No Vietnam for us, yo, Iraq it's on |
|
So who agreed upon this cowboy Genghis Khan? |
|
The choice made, baby. Hey we'd take it back |
|
logged in dropped out, MTV took track |
|
They sold it back to us and claimed no correlation |
|
The iMac, iPod, iGeneration |
|
And I'm waiting for the day we can get out |
|
The world is ours, that's the story no doubt |
|
Want to be more than info super highway traffic |
|
want to be more than a walking demographic! |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
"Hey! You're part of it" Talking about the iGeneration |
|
"Yeah! You're part of it" Talking about my iGeneration |
|
See the iGeneration knew organization |
|
meant optimization and unification |
|
When imagination gave participation |
|
In creation of culture a manifestation |
|
The Berlin Wall fell and out we came |
|
The post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM. |
|
LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis |
|
We sat at our laptops and typed away, |
|
and found that we each had something to say |
|
Web-logged our fears, our hopes and dreams |
|
Individuated by digital means |
|
Fiber optic lenses, DVD, Coca Cola, Disney and Mickey D's. |
|
Flat mass culture, the norm that took hold |
|
I hope I die before I get sold |
|
[REPEAT CHORUS] |
|
This is the I-N-T-E. R-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see? |
|
This is the I-N-T-E. R-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see? |
