Gen X Lyrics

Hey, I’m in mourning
And hey, life been boring
And pain, its been building
And rage, its festering

Pre-Chorus
Wanting a brighter future
Ready for intervention
Looking around for answers
Much more than vain attention
And yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah…

Chorus
And please, if there’s anybody out there
Can you meet my needs
And see, there’s a generation that’s bleeding
And they’re on their knees
And yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah…

Love, it likes to linger
And salve that’s on a bitter
Soul, I’m lost in letter X
And I’m meeting better days

Pre-Chorus
Wanting a brighter future
Ready for intervention
Looking around for answers
Much more than vain attention
And yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah…

Chorus
And please, if there’s anybody out there
Can you meet my needs
And see, there’s a generation that’s bleeding
And they’re on their knees
And yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah…

And yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah…

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i think this song is more like a prayer, or cry to God, to keep His hand on the younger generation of people. and for Him to keep us in His light, focused on Him. or maybe its for us to realize that other people know the struggles we are going thru, and they are asking God to keep watch over us... i dunno, i think im babbling... ill stop now... heh heh
