My Generation

My Generation

A Poem by schnickythep

Too many times have I stood by
While you make a fool out of me
All those things you thought were so funny
Has made you someone it hurts to see
We can talk about it all day long
Or until the day we die
But each pleasant word that leaves your mouth
Will never be more than a lie

What will you do when we all fall down
And all the fingers point to you
Cause when my generation is dead and gone
There will be nothing left for you to do

Do you have some kind of problem 
That makes you have to say "me first"
If you only stopped and watched yourself
You might see how you've been cursed
Do you have to be superior
Cause all you ever do
Is separate yourself
From the ones who still like you

What will you do when we all fall down
And all the fingers point to you
Cause when my generation is dead and gone
There will be nothing left for you to do

For all the time I've known you
You've tried to be the king
And even though you're flying high
I'm taking back my wings

Do you notice our world crumbling
Around the throne you built yourself
Too proud to get off your high horse
And run with seconds left
Was the cost of any real friends 
Too steep for you to pay?
Even though you say you have it all
You're slowly turning gray

What will you do when we all fall down
And all the fingers point to you
Cause when my generation is dead and gone
There will be nothing left for you to do
