Generation Lyrics
They give what they give ya<br>You get what you get<p>They take what they're taking<br>No matter what you said<p>Or maybe it's just apathy<br>Or maybe we don't question it<p>[So helpless<br>In this mess<p>The fault of all of us, yeah<br>Contagious complacent kiss goodbye<p>Generation of fear and whatever]<br>Life in the bull's eye<p>They won't ignore<br>Life in the big lie<p>We won't absolve<br>Or maybe it's just letargy<p>Or maybe we should question it<br>[Chorus]<p>(Solo)<br>Generation of fear and whatever<p>Generation of fear and whatever

Very powerful song. The meaning is all in the chorus: "Generation of fear and whatever." I think it's about how today's society has been conditioned into living in a state of constant fear and making decisions based on that, kindof like the ideas Michael Moore put forth in Fahrenheit 9/11.
I like the challenge in this song: "Maybe we should question it."
Forgot to mention: ignorance and complacency.
Kickass song. It's about how our society fails to think for itself, just lets stuff happen without question. Most of the songs on this cd seem to be based around politics and religion.
