Lost Generation

Intro:           verse 1 The mother of the outlaw    Thinks about the time he had the mumps And she’s really very sorry    And she hopes this has nothing to do With the way she brought him up And the outlaw he lies wounded    As the doctor gives the police sergeant a nod And the last words he was saying    Something about I do believe in God And who divides the oceans    When a generation’s lost its place And who sets the motion    Of the human race verse 2 And the sister of the prostitute    She’s trying to find the right way to love Cause when it gets down to make a living    These days it’s pretty hard for a girl to get it up And the romance on her street corner    He rides around in Eldorado fame And lately she’s been thinking    That what she’s been seeing in the movies just ain’t the same And who divides the oceans    When a generation’s lost its place And who sets the motion    Of the human race Interlude verse 3 And the legless Vietnam survivor   He’s trying to find a job or a wife Cause he can’t find peace with honor    As he gets conditioned to his wheelchair life And the killers still run the country    And they count their money with their bloodstained hands And lately I’ve been thinking    Maybe it s time we really took a stand And who divides the oceans    When a generation’s lost its place And who sets the motion    Of the human race Outro
