Boombox Generation Lyrics - Motion City Soundtrack

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

All stuck in the middle 

Between what is and what might be 

A great sensation has swept the nation 

Everybody wants the image you've got for sale 

With massive compromations on your part 

But buddy you've taken the nation 

Check it out the new teen beat model of the year 

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

Struck down from the pillar 

Short lived is all you'll ever be 

A once great sensation 

Has wiped out the nation 

Your message is no longer for sale 

And no proclamation 

Will return the station 

You held onto while the rest of us moved on 

As not quite sensations 

But mere subatomic particles of the nation 

We're happy if our songs get heard at all 

So bring forth donations 

For the boombox generation 

That's right 

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

There's no consolation prize 

There's no prize for consolation 

Don't be afraid 

Of what you say 

'Cause anyway 

Is the only way
