Broken Generation Songtext

von Of Mice & Men

He sits and he waits
Feeling broken and hollow
Hands held close to his face
Screaming why do I bother?

They'll just tear me down,
Rip me apart, cast aside like a sinner
With no words from the wise

Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn?
Learn to listen!

Can you hear them calling?
You'll testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
With arcane eyes you're staring back at someone with no face!
Can you hear them calling?

She lies there in wait
And feeling so hollow
Can't find love in this place
Left alone with her sorrow

All the promises you made
When you stood by her side were so broken
When you threw it away

Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn?
Will you ever learn?
Learn to listen!

Can you hear them calling?
You'll testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
We'll mobilize, not pacify to save another day!
Can you pick up all the pieces of this broken generation?
Can you hear them calling?

The road to hell is paved in good intentions and apathy
What did you expect when common sense is your enemy?
I'd rather burn alive than drown inside your reality

Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Can you hear them calling?
Testify to justify, you have to find a way!
Can you hear them calling?
We'll climb the walls to scratch the sky to save another day!
Can you pick up all the pieces of this broken generation?
(Pick up all the pieces of this broken generation?)
Can you hear them calling?
