Broke Generation

Clean dirty dishes up off my last table

Been at it since half past seven

She's going to meet me for a walk right after class

Its not much but it feels like heaven

You know we dont have the money

So we play pretend

So what we're knee deep in debt

We've got time to spend

Where the rich kids flaunt a life we cant afford

Well thats all fine and dandy

At least we're never bored

After a long day

We somehow make this shack feel like a home

On a dog day afternoon

Stay up long after midnight

To catch the pink sunrise in the morning

Feel the heat of the sun through the window pane

Hear the sound of the cities warning, again

Its a warm summer evening

The streets are packed

Take the subway right downtown

The red line track

To the old fashion district

See the newest trends

Where we take in the neon lights

Through a camera lens

After a long day

She falls asleep on my shoulder

on the last train home

And the stations become a blur

And I get afraid

Of the suitcases and the silence

And the feeling that

Someday that could be us

On the long train

But you know we dont have the money

So we play pretend

Havent built our castle in the sky to defend

Well weve got the imagination

Without the stress

Ill skip the suit, you skip the dress

Well we know we dont have the money

So we play pretend

So what we're knee deep in debt

We've got time to spend

Oh

We know we dont have the money

So we play pretend

So what we're knee deep in debt

We've got time to spend

After a long day

Theres nowhere in the world id rather be

Than right here, broke with you

On the long train home
