Generation Lost Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TH3_J 

Cover art for Generation Lost lyrics by Rise Against

heres my take on it i think its bout the 1940's generation of young men who had to go out and fight during WWII and never were able to live a real life bcaue of that "Do away with all the underprivileged'-get rid of the poor and sick and send them out

"Turn your blind eye when duty calls How long til we fall?"- when duty calls for them to go to war they just wanna die from it being horrible

"This is something that you can't ignore A simple thing worth fighting for cuz now they're tearing down our doors"- the war isnt somthing to ignore becuase its importnat, so u hvae to fight for it.

"So she screams out the window, "I've had it up to here" So sick and tired of wondering where I'll be next year..."- the wives of the soilders are wondering how there gonna be when they find out that there husbands are gone

"Now in the whirlwind of my life Is where you presently reside Can I pretend you don't exist Maybe just for ten more minutes? My hearts been broken into two and rusted from years of disuse So will you place upon it your hands Will you help it beat again?"- this has to be like a letter from the soliders to his gf/ wife because of the way its sung and they words taht are used.

I REALLY doubt this song is about war mate
