Lyrics of 'Generation' by Tori Kelly

She’s all alone even when she’s surrounded
Rolling stone you can’t keep her grounded
She’s flying high; candy coated dreams under pink skies.
She said, "I just wanna be beautiful,
And when the money starts raining like a waterfall
All my problems will disappear right?”
But deep down they're stout, now she's singing out

Got my heart broken once or twice
So I won’t give it up without a fight
I want the truth but I told some lies
When I live, we're atop, but I’m so cold
Where I’ll end up only God knows
And I’m still figuring it out, out, out

But it’s just our generation,
Want it all but got no patience,
Wanna know that time is ticking,
One day we’ll be amazing,
But we’re so sick of waiting
And it’s just our generation

He’s too afraid to settle down and get older
Couldn’t afford to make his fast life slower
So he runs away from every good girl, just play the game
Too worried about what other people think
Every little thing, take another drink
Let it sink in, pretend, fake friends, loose ends, now he's singin’

Got my heart broken once or twice
So I won’t give it up without a fight
And I want the truth but I told some lies
Where I’ll end up who really knows
Just kiss me once before I go
I’m a mess, still figuring it out, out, out

But it’s just our generation,
Want it all but got no patience,
Wanna know that time is ticking,
One day we’ll be amazing,
But we’re so sick of waiting
And it’s just our generation
It’s just our generation

Chasing a million things, a million dreams
Gotta look crazy, young, wild, and free
At least that’s what they told me on tv
Blind to reality,
There’s gotta be something missing
More than just a real good feeling
Life’s too short to have no meaning
Too bad there’s no time for blinking

But it’s just our generation,
Want it all but got no patience,
Wanna know that time is ticking,
One day we’ll be amazing,
But we’re so sick of waiting
And it’s just our generation
One day we’ll be amazing,
But I’m so sick of waiting,
Guess it’s just my generation
