The Great Depression Lyrics - Devour - Dave Hause

We were the Reagan kids 

Our heroes didn't work like our daddies did 

They dazzled us with TV through sleepy lids 

We followed hulking maniacs to prozac nation 

"You can be anything, just get your education" 

We were good Christian kids 

Went to church on Sunday mornings like mama did 

Teenage love made us feel guilty and so we hid 

Under those overpasses on summer nights 

We'd tear each other's clothes off 

And get into fights 

Then we roared right through our twenties 

Never bargained for a crash 

Watched our hollow dreams get buried 

Under heaps of plastic trash 

Broken promises to children leave indelible impressions 

Welcome to the great depression

We were our father's sons 

Playing war on weekend days with our plastic guns 

Catching up with who we were through the reruns 

"Eat your vitamins and say your prayers 

You'll become doctors, lawyers and millionaires" 

We were misguided girls 

Tried to fuck our way through such a distorted world 

Confusing love with sex and plastic with pearls 

"Get what you can for yourself, leave the rest behind" 

It's freedom forever 'til your card gets declined 

And we roared right through our twenties 

Never bargained for a crash 

Watching hollow dreams get buried 

Under heaps of plastic trash 

Broken promises to children leave indelible impressions 

Welcome to the great depression

Did he die for your sins? 

Did he leave us for dead? 

If you wanted us safe why would you fuck with our heads? 

The factory's gone, the loans are foreclosed 

But there's some places left that remind me of home 

Just give me one place left that reminds me of home 

The lifeboat is looking pretty full 

If you find some room reach out and give me a pull 

The way we learned to live is fading fast 

I guess we never bargained for a crash
