Voice of a Generation (Explicit)

Millennials get pretty vain sometimes

We haven't had it hard as generations gone by

That's not to say we've never faced tribulations

Now I'm gonna try my hand at talking 'bout my generation

I was born in the eighties, I was born in the eighties

And these are some of the things that helped to shape me

They were innocent times before tablets or smartphones

We'd gather as a family and watch the Cosby Show

Outside we'd play Injuns, cowboys, robbers and cops And by sweets at what the neighbour's dad called the P*** shop

The P.E teacher said he'd make a man of me

Had me thrown in a puddle by the rugby team

He said Kev one day this'll make you strong

But all I really noticed were his white shorts and his semi-on

I was a teen in the nineties, I was a teen in the nineties

A period full of memories that still excite me

Computers would scream every time they went online

As if they could foresee what the Internet would be like

You could smoke in pubs and visit cockpits on planes

And describe anything you didn't like as being totally gay

I met the world in the noughties, I met the world in the noughties

Turbulent times for humanity and for me

The whole world discovered the wonders of the drunken text

And pioneering ways you could stalk your ex

You could dream of being a star like Justin or Britney

Because fame was now something any moron could achieve

Living through these situations

Gave me powers of creation

And now I proclaim myself voice of a generation

Living through these situations

Gave me powers of creation

And now I have a PhD and work in a coffee shop
