I can't find what I want or make sense of this life

Too much hypocrisy in what is wrong and right

I see it everywhere but still I can't relate

I got to much to do can't sit around and wait

This world won't pass me by

I'll get all that I need

I'm given all I have - and I won't concede

We're the forgotten generation

But we know what we're living for

We're the forgotten generation and

We don't need you anymore

I'll base my life on what I want and you can't see

Don't analyze the labels that you put on me

I open up my eyes but I'll shut out your voice

You kept me in the dark and never gave me choice

My being different to you still makes me a man

And soon I'm gonna let the world know who I am

We're the forgotten generation

But we know what we're living for

We're the forgotten generation and

We don't need you anymore

I'll take the things I need that you can't understand

I'm getting stronger by the choices I demand

You're living in the past and that's right where you'll stay

I'm in the future and I'm gonna walk my way

In time you'll realize the dreams that we achieved

And give us back respect for what we all believed

We're the forgotten generation

But we know what we're living for

We're the forgotten generation and

We don't need you anymore
