GENERATION HEX

now lemme drop a verse on top of you
to remind you there's a curse on top of you
and on me and it's over us all just like a disease
and it's easy to see but it's hard to call
it's difficult to diagnose this but
i know this much
that it's a fact 
that the generation gap
is a stall at the mall
so what the fuck is that?
it's a hex sign

symbolizing the lies
sygnifying confusion
welcome to the realm of illusion
where nothing's what it seems to be
the image you see is an effigy
pseudo-reality propagating thru technology
constructed to be seductive

ya think youth cultivate rebellion?
they got your rebellion
they're buyin and sellin ya rebellion
they're trading it daily
it's a hot commodity
they're making millions
and whaddaya get?

and michael stipe says he can't identify
don't wanna lead
don't wanna follow
don't wanna swallow hypocrtical bullshit

but i'll make it clear
if you have ears to hear
i'll dispel the fuzz
and tell it like it was:

hallelujah to the hippies and the yippies of the 60s
i say fuck em when they cut their hair
bob dylan with his incantation
the times are changing 
he hexed the nation
cuz the change ain't stopped one tick of the clock
from that day to this
and i'd be remiss if i failed to remind you
that ya can't get out from under this...
