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...
