Testo Generation Z - NOFX
Testo della canzone Generation Z (NOFX), tratta dall'album A to H
I think that our kids will probably see the end of humanity
As we know it, 'cause this world's about to blow it
Will they see the destruction of the earth?
Will they feel like giving birth is an exercise of fertility?
Because when life becomes absurd and morality's been blurred
Liberty and freedom are just words
That have lost all their meaning in a world that is bleating
Like an animal at slaughter, I hope that my daughters
Never know what it feels like to give up
To know the whole world is corrupt
To realize that they are really on their own
There's no one left who cares about the future with a peeling with a suture
With a feeling that the human race has seen the checkered flag
And the laps that are given are the last ones ever driven
And everyone who's still living knows that
There's no more racist, there's no more competition
'Cause why try to be better when we're all gonna die together
We've been divided, we've been bled
Like a chicken without a head, running frantically amok
Taking, but not giving a fuck
History is just an alibi
It's believing every lie man has ever dared to write
It's so much easier to see than complex reality
A lifetime full of misery and blight
So we tell our daughter's and sons that they're not the final ones
To see this planet as a decent place to live
We use a telescope to give them faith to give them hope
Anything to help them cope with their future
'Cause there's no alternative
This is the end of history
There's no more points of view and your only thought is food
The bible has been replaced with a survival guide
That emphasizes the importance of perishables, not parables
But there's no stories left to preach
There's no life lessons left to teach
Why bother?
Why does this planet start to look more and more like a chessboard?
Kings and queens ruled the land
There's more and more lines drawn in the sand
Pawns are crooks, castles are rooks
It's too bad the good books
Written to show morality and nothing to do with reality
But then again, who would have ever read them
If they gave no simple instructions for redemption
We only read what we want to read
We only see what we want to see
We only hear the word descendants because we know there are no ascendants
How are we supposed to see the future of this world
When we can't even perceive up?
It's impossible for us to imagine what it is right in front of us
I guess that's what makes us think we're humans
But being human only lets us see a little farther than animals
We're slightly better than the animals, we're slightly better than the insects
Are we really the intellects, or are we just chemically imbalanced ants
On chemically fueled rants?
It really just comes down to sex and power
The last person on the earth doesn't give a shit
Or have any idea that he or most likely she is the last one
'Cause the last one will certainly be the worst one
The last person on this planet will fuck the dead
And die thinking not about why didn't anyone care
But why her life was so unfair
It's time, it needs to be said
I'm sorry to be the one to inform you
But man and womankind has unfortunately been pronounced dead
