You're the prototypical Gen Y'er
You represent a generation of young people
Who've been blessed with education and opportunity
Who don't just fall through the cracks, but
But jump through

Jamie was a lost soul, Jamie never had goals
Nobody knew Jamie slowly going down a dark hole
Eighty-hour weeks, still behind on the bills
Sits alone in seclusion as depression only builds
Ain't nobody coming round, ain't nobody gonna call
Ain't nobody ever see that loneliness he hides it all
And he never let that mask down till the final choke
When they found him in his living room, hanging from a rope
Lindsey was the prom queen, always had to be seen
The most popular girl, married turning eighteen
Settle down, put a couple buns in the oven
Play the perfect homemaker, hubbies get the side loving
So, she smiles through the pain and she smiles for the kids
Slowly breaking down inside because it shouldn't be like this
Keeps losing herself more with every year passed
Cause she wanted to grow up, but Lindsey grew up too fast

We're the children lost to time
A generation in decline
Our mission will not be defied
Show you every reason why
History left undefined
We're the ones they lost to time
Our voices will not be denied
Call us Generation Why

Have y'all met Nikki, she was always pretty
Fresh outta high school, model in the city
Bout ten months on a non-stop whirlwind
High-life, jet flights, till the next girl's in
Then the gigs dried up, but she gotta keep the buzz
So, she got an OnlyFans, shit was better than the club
Took the xanny cause it's good at dulling pain
Plus, a couple grand a week does a lot to hide that shame
Robbie kept out of sight, never knew a real life
Lost to the screen every second every dam night
Caught up in that wonderful world of make believe
Mistakenly fantasy, a virtual casualty
Retreated inside, and hasn't been out the door
Living in his own filth, he can't be bothered for more
Just so focused in, upon the binge, deep into obsession
Man, I swear you saw him, it was gluttony in Se7en

We're the children lost to time
A generation in decline
Our mission will not be defied
Show you every reason why
History left undefined
We're the ones they lost to time
Our voices will not be denied
Call us Generation Why

Now I'm an underachiever with some hobbies, one is rap
Got this ever-growing debt that I carry on my back
It reminds me of inflated degrees I was chasing
A PhD in money wasted
A legacy left undefined
We're the ones they lost to time
Our screams and cries won't be denied
As we stand atop this rubble, call us Generation Why

We're the children lost to time
A generation in decline
Our mission will not be defied
Show you every reason why
History left undefined
We're the ones they lost to time
Our voices will not be denied
Call us Generation Why
