Lizzy Borden Generation Landslide Lyrics

Generation Landslide Lyrics

Please clean your plate dear
The Lord above can see you
Don't you know
people are starving in Korea
Alcohol and razor blades and poison and
needles
Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them
The
over-indulgent machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on Earth
here to cool them
'Cause they looked just like humans
At Kresge's and
Woolworth's
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in
batallions were ruling the streets
Saying generation landslide
Closed the
gap between them
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who
never conceived of us billion dollar babies
Militant mothers hiding in their
basements
Using pots and pans as thier shields and their helmets
Molotov
milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs
While Mother's Lib burned birth
certificate papers
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's
pubic to the world but involved in high finance
Sister's out till five doing
banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his
father
Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour
The Colgate
invisible shield finally got 'em
But I laughed to myself at the men and the
ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
