I never had a reason to believe in anything I never had a cause that I could fight for I never had too much of anything to call my own A drunk mother and father of four All my life, I grew up watching others' dreams come true And how I waited for my days in the sun Every day, I worked harder and I got farther in debt I realized that day wasn't ever gonna come Written off, lost cause Sold us down the river, got no hope to offer us Tore down without grief What's a generation without a reason to believe? They tore down all my walls and then they made my hatred a crime Debilitating us with their complacency Our thoughts become mundane; our generation thinks the same Our minds anesthetized by apathetic TV No wars to fight, steel bridges won't burn The beliefs we uphold are lies; we never learn The only hope for the future leaves us reason to grieve What's a generation without a reason to believe? A reason to believe No wars to fight, steel bridges won't burn The beliefs we uphold are lies; we never learn The only hope for the future leaves us reason to grieve What's a generation without a reason to believe?
