Colin Hay - Lost Generation lyrics

Beautiful girl, from the southland I don't quite understand, but I know who you are Last night you told me about your sister How you loved and how you missed her I don't know why but you say that you like me But sometimes yeah, you despise me You tell me you're the lost generation So much anger,and so much frustration It's not your fault it's the situation When all you want is to rest your body Under the sun, in the long gra** Your life has not been fun this is clear You don't understand why Everybody else has got every little thing You joined a group but you don't sing I know that you've got things to say You want tomorrow, when it's still today You tell me you're the lost generation I saw you talk on Face the Nation You want the truth, you seek salvation But you got no time, you got no patience Your daddy's a big shot in construction Your mother's just had liposuction You thought that your life came with a list of instructions All you want is to lay your body down It's love that we seek The future looks Sometimes we feel so small Hate the ones who spoiled it all You tell me you're the lost generation All you want is a good occupation Then you drink too much you spit damnation Start to sound like my old poor relations But don't worry darling it'll be alright There's nothing to win nobody to fight What seems wrong may soon be right Under the moon we'll lay our bodies down Lay our bodies down in the long gra** under the sun Lay our bodies down down down
