This'll be us pretty soon.
A refreshing mix of ultra cheesy pop rock and disturbingly dark social comentary.
I'm a Guitarist/Songwriter/Reluctant singer who plays an odd mix of pop hard rock, blues, and some other stuff, while sometimes veering insanely into anti establishment satiracal metal, techno and/or country. I used to be in a local Boston band called Aesthetik that played all over New England in the mid to late 90's. I also have a degree from the Berklee College of Music in Music Production and Engineering. Learn even more about me at my website.... http://www.ErikZmusic.com
Story behind the song
Our consumer driven society is heading toward a brick wall. Pretty soon Generation X, Y or whatever is gonna be living off food stamps.
Lyrics
Look at 'em, you laugh, salt of the earth - but there's
something there you just don't see, I guess you missed the irony
a red pickup, garth brooks, a hard hat, "I can do better than that
it's not for me, I've got brains, just you see,
cuz I deserve better
like my father did before
I went to school, man I ain't no fool
I'm gonna be some one"
4 years , they flew by, what did you learn? was it
somethin to help society, or was it just a novelty.
but you made it, to the real world, it's not just, a catch phrase anymore
hold up, somethings wrong.
everyone around you
wants the same thing that you do
you'd better get in line, you've run out of time
Welcome to
Generation White Trash
Generation X flipped on it's head
Generation White Trash
a generation that's pretty much dead
they look at you, and you smirk, you still don't learn
we're all here as one to make it through, still the only one you see it you.
with your
good credit, bright future, they'll just be, tomorrows memories
get ready, cuz t's all going to end
you see
you've built yourself a mountain
with just deck of cards
it only gets so tall, before it falls
then you, will be.
Generation White Trash
Generation X flipped on it's head
Generation white trash
generation x but pretty much dead
