| 1) Generation S. (4:10) Post war boom, made more room, paved our way, I've got my say We play in the streets till dawn, and then sleep it off till noon We never need to go to school, gotta save our energy for tonight Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the... Mom n' Dad both work, so I go berserk, they're never home, they ensure my future No one's shown us responsibility, 'cuz it would infringe on our young rights We have no accountability, we're party to the video game set Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the... Untouchable, Unstoppable, Uncontrollable, Unaccountable Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the... 2) Oh God (Studio Version) (4:16) Don't know how long I've been here, don't know how long I've been here How long will it take to get high? There's no one waiting for me at home. Let's lay out and watch the sky Oh God I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I'd rather be stoned Oh what time is it? Second thought I don't give a shit I've got no purpose in this life I watch as they burn down my home All I see is hunger and strife Oh God I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I'd rather be stoned Don't worry there is no pain, It's just one of life's little games I have no uncertain loyalties I know I'm only flesh and bone I'm a little low on self securities Oh God I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I'd rather be stoned 3) My Friend Jerome (5:40) This smoke ain't for me, I'm just being friendly It's for a bud of mine, I'm sure you'd think him fine Then you'll sell this to me? Yes, I'd have to agree This may sound a little strange, but every word is true... It's for my friend Jerome, he's just the best But he's not here now, no, he's gone out west He'll be home soon, that's what he told me I'll tell him that you said hello No this drink ain't for me, I don't touch that shit you see I'm just runnin' errands, it's what I like to do Then you'll sell this to me? My that sure is gentlemanly You've just made a friend, and my bond is true, 'cuz... It's for my friend Jerome, he's just the best But he's not here now, no, he's gone out west He'll be back home soon, that's what he told me I'll tell him that you said hello No, these drugs aren't for me No, these guns aren't for me No, this car aren't for me No, this bong aren't for me... It's for my friend Jerome, he's just the best But he's not here now, no, he's gone out west He'll be back soon, that's what he told me I'll tell him that you said hello 4) Windows (6:52) Reflection, what a luxury. Yours to savor Decision, an ultimate turning point. Yours to make Yours alone, like a window into time Yours alone, it's something to think about, think about... I shiver inside, when I think of the sight A crumpled form, there still Indelibly stamped, forever on their minds Forever, haunting them Forever, while I'm gone Emptiness, that hollow feeling inside. Yours to change Loneliness, darkness surrounds outside. Yours to light Yours alone, like a window into time Yours alone, it's something to think about, think about... I shiver inside, when I think of the sight A crumpled form, there still Indelibly stamped, forever on their minds Forever, haunting them Forever, while I'm gone I seem to be the master at the fine art of self abuse It's an experiment that will be put to later use But when the darkness seems to be your light You're gonna need someone like me to set it right You gotta learn from me, gotta learn from me I shiver inside, when I think of the sight A crumpled form, there still Indelibly stamped, forever on their minds Forever, haunting them Forever, while I'm gone 5) Religion (6:40) Wars and the agony of it all, what good is it to you and me? It's the cause of so much hate, for so-called earthly divinity It's your religion, you can keep it to yourself Cause I don't need your religion, put it back on the shelf Don't preach to me about it, don't keep at me each and every day Your ideas are so totally fucked, and there is poison in what you say It's your religion, you can keep it for yourself Cause I don't need your religion, put your age-old ideas back on the shelf Can't you see all the pain and the loss, suffering in the name of the holy cross? Every hour people living hell on earth, religion questions your very self-worth So you can keep your religion, keep it all to yourself We don't need your religion, put your age-old ideas back on the shelf You look at me and say what does he know He was probably born with a silver spoon in his mouth Just another perfectly healthy white hetrosexaul male What kind of pain could he have ever experienced? Well I ain't fucking stupid, I see it on the news every day The world-wide senseless killing, undertaken in his Holy name How can we just sit by and watch? How can we not think about it? There's no way I can take it anymore We're just the servants and Religion's just the whore Ya you can keep your religion, keep it all to yourself We don't need any religion, just put your age-old ideas back on the shelf Back on the shelf, back on the shelf, back on the shelf All lyrics Copyright 2008 Mouton Music Canada All words by Thomas A.
