A runaway was found today dyin' in the ally
He didn't have a name, a number or a home
They found him cold as ice, he was feelin' no pain
His destination was termination, a dead end situation We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation A teenage idol died tonight lyin' in the gutter
He had the things in life, only money could buy
He threw it all away down a river of fame
His destination was termination, a dead end situation We are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation Wasted
Wasted We are the wasted generation
(We are the wasted generation)
We are the wasted generation
