Blank Generation Songtext

von Richard Hell & The Voidoids

I was saying let me outta here before I was even born. it's such a gamble when you get a face.
It's fascination to observe what the mirror does
But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place.

I belong to the blank generation
And I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the _____ generation
But I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed.
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye.
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first.
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "god's consolation prize!"

To hold the tv to my lips the air so packed with cash
Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot.
To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms tracks
And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot.
