it's such a gamble when you get a face

Richard Hell and the Voidoids "Blank Generation"

even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face

It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does

but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the ______ generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed

He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye

The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first

The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the ______ generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

To hold the t.v. to my lips, the air so packed with cash

then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot

To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks

and watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the ______ generation but

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the blank generation and

I can take it or leave it each time

I belong to the ______ generation but

I can take it or leave it each time top
