Loneliest Generation Lyrics

Daddy wants me to be a steady, rolling man
It's all over now
Tried to teach about my world the best I can
But he's lost and I don't know how

Here we are, so far
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation

We're not just hippie kids or disco queens in plaid
That's all over now
If every chance I take is one you never had
Then how can I expect you to understand anyhow?

Here we are, so far
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Na na na na na
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Na na na na na
Stand up for the loneliest generation

We are children laughing, peeking through the wall
Knock it over now
Just let us stand alone and if we fall
It's never over

Here we are, somehow
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Na na na na na
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation

Daddy wants me to be a steady, rolling man
It's all over now
Tried to teach about my world the best I can
But he's lost and I don't know how

Here we are, so far
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation

We're not just hippie kids or disco queens in plaid
That's all over now
If every chance I take is one you never had
Then how can I expect you to understand anyhow?

We are children laughing, peeking through the wall
Knock it over now
Just let us stand alone and if we fall
It's never over

Here we are, somehow
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Na na na na na 
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up, stand up
For the loneliest generation
Stand up for the loneliest generation
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation
We don't lie
Stand up for the loneliest generation

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.

If I got the lyrics wrong, I apologize. I didn't have much to go on. These guys are amazing, though. I saw them at SXSW this year and fell in love.

You only missed one word! Instead of "peeking", it's "kicking", in the 3rd verse.
