Gen-X Cops lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
It wasn't built for me
It's your academy
But in my time, you taught me how to see
Each generation makes its own apology

[Verse 3]
Welcome back, my oldest friend
Are you cursed to depart again?
Your ways and means, eternally obscene
And always looking for obscenity and hatred

[Chorus]
It wasn't built for me
It's your academy
But in my time, you taught me how to see
Each generation makes its own apology
[Chorus]
It wasn't built for me
It's your academy
But in my time, you taught me how to see
Each generation makes its own apology

[Outro]
It's by design and consequentially
Each generation makes its own apology
