From the recording Latchkey Generation

Lyrics

Punk to grunge, Trying to expunge
Memories of spaceships blowing up
I was a South Dakota sophomore eating my lunch
Made GenX stronger, effed us up
Saw the cult drink the Kool Aid
Faced nuclear demise? We were not afraid
Often Seemed, it didn't matter much
Nightmares of destruction - all gone with a touch

Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect
Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect

Boomers forgot us for awhile
We just sat back with our wry smiles
Waiting for anyone to notice us pouting
Feeling like 99 Luftballons floating
Independent and driven, labeled as rigid,
by millennials while boomers saw the me generation
constant contemplation, forced to make an explanation
Common consternation - overcame their estimation

Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect
Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect

Millennials Gen Z - need to take the reins
People in charge have old pattern brains
Not enough of Gen X to stop that greed
Boomers spurned free love in trade for speed
We were outnumbered - failed to make it stop
So broken - truly over the top
Leadership, switch up is key
Several years past time for new energy

Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect
Dear Millennials, time to conquer
Please take control, stop Boomer encores
Latchkey kids, Generation X
Slackers with a message hope we had some effect
Some effect
