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
