lyrics
Suicidal thoughts and alienation
Bourgeois comforts and self-detestation
Amnesia and the downfall of a nation
Imperial dreams then crushing reparation
A fragile national psyche and hyperinflation
A cleansing of the ego through Idolisation
A new national pride and armoured restoration
No moral judgement just abnegation

So, this is what he wants to say to you – you’re the blank generation
This is what he really thinks of you – you’re the blank generation
Can’t you see:
- You make a stand or you stand for nothing
- There’s more to this than just your ego
- Your silence is complicity

Looking at the wreckage of a brutalised nation
Eleven years of cuts and deprivation
The shrinking of the state and rationalisation
Rewards for the few and not the wider population
Small town boredom and desperation
A cultural desert of neglected desolation
A feeling of disgust for ‘The Useless Generation’
Of baggy minds and druggy veneration

So, this is what they want to say to you – you’re the blank generation
This is what they really think of you – you’re the blank generation
Can’t you see:
- You make a stand or you stand for nothing
- There’s more to this than just your ego
- Your silence is complicity

So, here we are – you had it all
You had the best of everything – but now it’s gone
Pull the ladder up – on those still to come
You look down on them – for not being born the same time as you…

Then you moan about foreigners and immigration,
Cultural identity and isolation
London has fallen to Islamification,
Metropole elites and liberalisation
You swallow all the lies about this glorious nation
Pomp and circumstance for the big occasions
Tug your forelock and know your station
And turn your backs on the younger generations!

So, this is what we want to say to you – you’re the blank generation
This is what we really think of you – you’re the blank generation
Can’t you see:
- You make a stand or you stand for nothing
- There’s more to this than just your ego
- Your silence is complicity
