Generation Landslide Lyrics - Singles - Lizzy Borden

Please clean your plate, dear 

The Lord above can see ya 

Don't you know people are starving in Korea? 

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles 

Kindergarten people 

They use 'em, the need 'em 

The over indulgent machines were their children 

There wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em 

'Cause they look just like humans at kresges and wool worths 

But decadent brains were at work to destroy 

Brats in battalions were ruling the streets 

Sayin' generation landslide closed the gap between 'em 

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies 

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies 

Militant mothers hiding in their basement 

Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets 

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs 

While mothers' lib burns birth certificate papers 

Dad gets his allowance from his sonny, the dealer 

Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance 

Sister's out 'til five doing banker's son's hours 

But she owns a maserati that's a gift from his father 

Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour 

The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em 

And I laugh to myself at the men and the ladies 

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
