The Raconteurs - Live At Electric Lady

Blank Generation (Studio Version) - Recorded at Electric Lady Studios

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But me, I like to sit around and satisfy my soul
I like my women short
I like my women tall
And that's about the only thing I really dig at all

I belong to the beat generation
I don't let anything trouble my mind
I belong to the beat generation, man
And everything's going just fine

I was thinking, let me out of here before I was
Even born, it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinating 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, yeah
I belong to the, generation
But I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were falling out 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, yeah

To hold the TV 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
I can take it or leave it each time, yeah
I belong to the, generation
And I can take it or leave it each time

Yeah, I belong to generation X, man
I don't let anything trouble my mind
I belong to the me generation and
Everything is going to be just fine

I belong to generation Z
What's that you said?
What's that you're saying to me?
Did you say something?
Hahahaha
