I found a picture of my mother In her bell-bottom jeans Flowers in her hair Two fingers up for peace In that Polaroid she smiled A grown up baby boomer Maybe momma walked down the wild side Walking on the moon
What will they say about us?
I've heard stories about my grandpa Child of the great depression How growing up broke creates and deep and dark impressions He sits in a rocker, down at the veterans home Even when I got to visit he still rocking all alone
What will they say about us They call us generation lost Or generation greed Or they connect the generation To a plasma screen Or a generation why enough is not enough Or maybe they'll call us Generation love Generation love
We are children of divorce Victims of dysfunction We spell check of coarse And gps the proper junction We got it "pretty good" Shifting all the blame
But I think I hear an old song Calling my new name Generation love
Not generation lost Or generation greed Or they connect the generation To a plasma screen Or a generation why enough is not enough Or maybe they'll call us Generation love
Ooh generation love And when they've become a time capsule A hundred years from now Maybe they'll look inside And see we figured out
How to live and give ourselves away
Just maybe they'll call us Just maybe they'll call us Generation love
We are a brand new generation of love We are a brand new generation of love
