Generation Loss

You 29 year panic attack
 And not the fashionable kind
 The kind where you wake up and say, "Man
 I just wanna survive"
 But this world is short on empathy
 You got out of your parents' place
 Started making money
 Crashed your car, and now they want your laces
 And they gave you just enough
 To make you feel like you fucked up
 When you realized you couldn't keep yourself clean
 Well kid, you're not half bad
 Could even be more than your dad
 So why are you complaining
 If they're not listening?
 'Cause we're just so fucking tired
 Of explaining ourselves
 We throw a pill down our throats
 Or ourselves into the ocean
 'Cause half our friends are dead
 The other half are depressed
 In this budget rate line, and the borderline's looking thin
 Driving out into the water
 'Cause you took that leap of faith
 All I see is you floating, so I turn my stereo up
 You're living bender to bender
 I only saw you when we were high
 You're finally touching down, and I'm folding
 But you said, "Enough is not enough"
 You always feel like you fucked up
 So what's the point of keeping yourself in line?
 They won't name you in the papers
 See you out past the breakers
 Same smile you've had since you were five
 'Cause we're just so fucking tired
 Of explaining ourselves
 We throw a pill down our throats
 Or ourselves into the ocean
 'Cause half our friends are dead
 The other half are depressed
 In this budget rate line, the borderline's looking thin
 Life is long enough
 Didn't think you'd speed it up
 Feel selfish that we still want you alive
 The memorial wasn't bad
 Some people tried to understand
 Thought you were complaining
 But we weren't listening
 'Cause we're just so fucking tired
 Of explaining ourselves
 We throw a pill down our throats
 Or ourselves into the ocean
 'Cause half our friends are dead
 The other half are depressed
 In this budget rate line, the borderline's looking thin
 So we throw ourselves into the ocean
