I don't know how this whole thing started

And I don't know where this whole thing is going

But the way they're looking at you

And the way they're looking at me

With condescending eyes

That won't give us a try (CHR)

CHR - Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

And the X stands for expected to be excellent

Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

We're children of the booming

With an extended adolescence

Climate's controlled by thinking that's way too old

Don't clip our wings on sight just to spite our flight

We'll look to you when you look to us

Now X marks the spot and you know we've arrived (CHR)

CHR - Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

No, no, not content as the less than environment

Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

Fewer jobs, lied to dreams and no benefits

(I'm sorry sir there are no benefits with this job)

I'm pointing the finger at those who point the finger

I've got one question for you. . . Weren't you once like us?

With the whole world to save

And your own name to make

Gonna build this world a treasure chest

Coin by coin (CHR)

CHR - Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

We're sifting through the mess that we've been left

Say yes, say yes, we're the generation X

Gonna follow our hearts until the very end
