Lonely Generation Lyrics

We are the reputation
A billion babies getting high
And you wonder why

Too bad that your house is broken
How strange that all of us have seen
Our mother-ships get stolen

We are the lonely generation
Never want never want
The blood of your separation
Gonna get a little bit of help
From all the good stuff
Gonna put a little bit
A little bit of push in our shove

Too bad they sold their candle
I guess it's fine to leave me cold
You set a fine example

We are the reputation
A billion babies getting high
And you wonder why

We are the lonely generation
Never want never want
The blood of your separation
Gonna get a little bit of help
From all the good stuff
Gonna put a little bit
A little bit of push in our shove

Heaven is a stoplight
I'm busted with this flashlight
Sleeping on the subway
Coming down on Monday

We are the lonely generation
Never want never want
The blood of your separation
Gonna get a little bit of help
From all the good stuff
Gonna put a little bit
A little bit of push in our shove

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.
