Generation Handclap - Library Voices

Used up your best days working on yourself

Trying to turn your bones and blood into something you could sell

Something you could pawn off as intelligent

You spend your whole life working on your health

Until one day your atoms disassemble and go on to form something else

Try telling that to your therapist

Well, we stand for nothing, sugar, it’s just generation drunk-text

Gonna love you like a cherub, gonna leave you like a lap dance

Oh, you wanna save it, oh, you wanna save the world

You keep pouring out your heart but all I ever hear is oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh oh Ode to generation handclap

Oh, oh-oh-oh oh Ode to generation handclap

Used up your best days working on yourself

Trying to turn your bones and blood into something you could sell

Something you could pawn off as intelligent

You spend your whole life working on your health

Until one day your atoms disassemble and go on to form something else

Try telling that to your therapist

Well, we stand for nothing, sugar, it’s just generation drunk-text

Gonna love you like a cherub, gonna leave you like a lap dance

Oh, you wanna save it, oh, you wanna save the world

You keep pouring out your heart but all I ever hear is oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh-oh oh Ode to generation handclap

Oh, oh-oh-oh oh Ode to generation handclap

A movement without motion

Like altered states or religious grace

All the chemical burns and miracle cures

The target market debates, mercury in retrograde

The boyfriend cannon fodder, the dragonfly blotter

Another complicated lover, another pharmaceutical summer

They say you are what you read

Well you can be Coupland, I’ll be Murakami
