Lyrics
0:26Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe
0:32Forever cursed to live unrelaxed
0:38We make no bones a house is not a home
0:42And a home is nowhere we can stay
0:49Dodged the draft
0:50But can't dodge the war
0:55Forever cursed to live insecure
1:00The curtain drops
1:03A gang of Gen X cops assembles
1:06Trembling before our human nature
1:12It wasn't built for me
1:18It's your academy
1:23But in my time
1:25You taught me how to see
1:29Each generation makes it's own apology
1:58Welcome back my oldest friend
2:03Are you cursed to depart again
2:09Your ways and means eternally obscene
2:13And always looking for obscenity and hatred
2:21It wasn't built for me
2:27It's your academy
2:32But in my time you taught me how to see
2:37Each generation makes it's own apology
3:07It wasn't built for me
3:13It's your academy
3:18But in my time you taught me how to see
3:23Each generation makes it's own apology
3:30It's by design and consequentially
3:35Each generation makes it's own apology
Blacken the sky and sharpen the axe Forever cursed to live unrelaxed We make no bones a house is not a home And a home is nowhere we can stay Dodged the draft But can't dodge the war Forever cursed to live insecure The curtain drops A gang of Gen X cops assembles Trembling before our human nature It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time You taught me how to see Each generation makes it's own apology Welcome back my oldest friend Are you cursed to depart again Your ways and means eternally obscene And always looking for obscenity and hatred It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time you taught me how to see Each generation makes it's own apology It wasn't built for me It's your academy But in my time you taught me how to see Each generation makes it's own apology It's by design and consequentially Each generation makes it's own apology
