Sunfields - Generation Joke Lyrics

I was down, I was down, I was down on luck
Almost on my knee
But I can't recall the midwest line
Does mercy have a seed?
And vanity's loud company
From another time
Like high school girl at the jubilee
The masses always bleed

I don't why they get so low
A generation joke

A generation on its knees
Another kid in line
Another hand to push on me
And they keep saying to choose a side

I know that never's not enough

I don't why they get so low
A generation joke
All that I am I won't give away
To a generation joke
