I Was Once Where You Are Now, Twice

Lyrics
It’s a wicked generation that has nothing to say

Subversive Alex said that “Anarchy Is Now” is his way

But then we changed the definition of what anarchy says

And we’re backed into a corner ‘n only truth now will suffice

By the time you were informed the scream was only a shout

So shut up, let me tell you now what it was really about because

We threw the human race and then we all sold out and

Then the corporate came along said they gave us all a real good price

I was once where you are now, twice

Well we missed the revolution and now the movement is dead

If we could only figure out if it was all in our heads

And so we compensate by making ourselves happy instead

Although the happiness we’re snorting always seems to turn into a vice

And we’re addicted to ourselves in a complacency game

And when you take a look around you everyone feels the same

‘Cause we still wanna try to fight it but we don’t know who’s to blame

And if you overcome that then maybe I can give you some advice

I was once where you are now, twice

By the time we all found out it was already too late

You got Big Brother and Big Business going out on a date

And now the lines are overflowing and there is shit on our plate

And if you lay there while they rape you maybe they will give you a slice

As long as no one’s listening to the things that I say

You might just wanna throw your Facebook and your cell phone away

Because the younger generation always texting away thinks that a

Tracking chip attached to their Anarchy would be nice

I was once where you are now, twice
