Lyrics

[Intro]
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why
[Verse 1]
I was off
Keying cars parked on radium lawns
By suburbian moms
I called a friend
Let's meet at ten
Go wherever we want
'Cause no one cares that we're gone
[PreChorus]
This town don't got much to do
And you and I haven't got much to lose
So, do you wanna rot in your room like we always do?
Talk about how fast we grew
And all of our dreams that we won't pursue
Then get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn blue
[Chorus]
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
We get into trouble and lose our minds
That's something that I've heard a million times in my life
Generation Why
[Verse 2]
Parents think, we're fast asleep
But as soon as we're home, we're sneaking out the window
'Cause at this rate of earth decay
Our worlds ending at noon
Could we all just move to the moon?
[PreChorus]
This town don't got much to do
And you and I haven't got much to lose
So, do you wanna leave everyone in this place for good?
[Chorus]
'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
We get into trouble and lose our minds
That's something that I've heard a million times in my life
Generation Why
[Bridge]
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why
We're livin' night to night
Since we're bound to die, oh
Oh, what's the use in trying?
And it's exactly why
[Chorus]
We are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind
Millennium kids, that all wanna die
Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes
We are the worthless, cursed with too much time
We get into trouble and lose our minds
That's something that I've heard a million times in my life
Generation why
[Outro]
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why (Why)
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why (Why)
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why (Why)
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why (Why)
