The kids today are gone away petitioning the dust
With nobody to look up to because they're looking up to us
Just misfit melancholy dregs gone lost in the mall
Wanderers to nowhere at all
G or B really seem critical of their past here. Almost as though they're chastising themselves for living the way they did because NOW they're the parents and the kids TODAY are all vapid little shits because they don't have a decent familial role model to look up to.
I couldn't agree more. I love it when bands like Bad Religion sing to the dysfunctional families of the world. I was more than fortunate to have the right role models, my parents and an older brother, and it's hard for me to think of a life unlike that although my classmates, all around me, about 1/5th of my peers, had nobody to look up to except for their friends' parents, their friends, and themselves. That's hard to think of.

Guys, I am not a native english speaker so I am having a hard time trying to get the meaning of some phrases. For example, in the stanza above cited what does petitioning the dust mean?

Also, in the first stanza, what is the meaning of shimmer away?
