A new generation and the whole world's shakin'
We wereborn in flames, maiden names
Suburban homes, make your bones
Bite your lip, take the fifth
Know your rights, its your life now
Don't let them take you down
Its a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
Its a beautiful day
Hurricanes, love in vain
Murphy's law,days of war
Crash and Burn, live and learn
Fill the void,girls and boys now
Don't let them take you down
Its a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
All the people, all the people run
All the while were trying to find the sun
Its a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
its a beautiful day
Don't let them mess you round
Its a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
Its a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
A lost generation and the whole world is shakin ah ha
don't let them take you down
A bad reputation and a dime store nation ah ha
don't let them take you down
And its my generation and the world is breakin' my heart
don't let them take you down
A lost generation and the whole world's shakin'
