A new generation, now my whole world shakin'We were born in flames, maiden names
Suburban homes, make your bones
Bite your lip, take the fifth
Know your rights, it's your life nowDon't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let 'them them take you down
It's a beautiful dayHurricanes, love in vain
Murphy's law, days of war
Crash and burn, live and learn
Fill the void, girls and boys nowDon't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them them take you down
It's a beautiful dayAll the people, all the people run
All the while we're tryin' to find the sunIt's a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let 'them mess you 'roundIt's a beautiful day
Don't let them them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them take you downA lost generation, now my whole world is shakin' round
Don't let them take you down
A bad reputation and a dime store nation now
Don't let them take you downAnd when it's my generation, now my whole world is breakin' my heart
Don't let them take you down
A lost generation, now my whole world shakin'
