Lyrics

(The Gen X Blues)

Sittin' at a Bar in Milano, Thinkin' 'bout the USA.
Everything I've got I had to borrow, started drinkin' night and day.
My daddy's out of money, bank account's on negative five.
Can't get a cab to the airport, same old shuck and jive.

Chorus
Everytime I get down I start hittin' the town, I start drinkin' around the world.

My friends think I'm a high brow loser, rollin' in the capital gains.
I'm really just a pinstripe poser, doin' shots to numb the pain.
Called up bif in Nova Scotia, to see if he could spare a G.
Said he had another phone call, and he didn't remember me.

Chorus

Bridge
Called my daddy, "get me outta this mess." He's in jail cause of the IRS.
What do I do now that it's closing time, I can't think about it I go out of my mind.

Sittin' in a bar in Capistrano, watching time slip away.
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong...all the taxes I forgot to pay.
Bring another round of Kamikazes, the first five rounds won't do.
Livin' on Lithium and Jaeger, my ex-wife is gonna sue.

Chorus
