Lost Generation

	Beautiful girl, from the southland
	I don’t quite understand, but
	I know who you are
	Last night you told me about your sister
	How you loved and how you missed her
	I don’t know why but you say that you like me
	But sometimes yeah, you despise me
	You tell me you’re the lost generation
	So much anger,and so much frustration
	It’s not your fault it’s the situation
	When all you want is to rest your body
	Under the sun, in the long grass
	Your life has not been fun this is clear
	You don’t understand why
	Everybody else has got every little thing
	You joined a group but you don’t sing
	I know that you’ve got things to say
	You want tomorrow, when it’s still today
	You tell me you’re the lost generation
	I saw you talk on
	Face the Nation
	You want the truth, you seek salvation
	But you got no time, you got no patience
	Your daddy’s a big shot in construction
	Your mother’s just had liposuction
	You thought that your life came with a list of instructions
	All you want is to lay your body down
	It’s love that we seek
	The future looks
	Sometimes we feel so small
	Hate the ones who spoiled it all
	You tell me you’re the lost generation
	All you want is a good occupation
	Then you drink too much you spit damnation
	Start to sound like my old poor relations
	But don’t worry darling it’ll be alright
	There’s nothing to win nobody to fight
	What seems wrong may soon be right
	Under the moon we’ll lay our bodies down
	Lay our bodies down in the long grass under the sun
	Lay our bodies down down down
