Billy Cobb
Ode to the Homeland Generation
[Verse 1]
Whatever happened to the
Safety of my youth
When the worst thing
Was a needle
In your arm
But when you're 18
And you come to
Face the truth
Our generation is so screwed
We’re left to rot
While elders bloom
[Bridge]
In 20 years
Will I be there
To support myself
Will I live alone or
Will I find someone who
Will walk with me through hell
I'm barely on my own
Yet I feel so stuck
I feel so lost in
Recent years but
I'm just growing up
But will I grow alone
I feel like there’s just
Too much wasted love
I still lost on where I'll go
Where will I end up
[Verse 2]
I feel like I need to learn
How to walk again
Because by myself
I know I'm doomed to fall
Soon it will be time to start
Leaving all my friends
I guess all good things always end
It's something we must comprehend
[Bridge]
In 60 years
Will I be there
To support myself
Will I be dead
A rotting corpse
Or a useless bunch of cells
I'm barely on my own
Yet I feel so stuck
I feel so lost in
Recent years but
I'm just growing up
But will I grow alone
I feel like there's just
Too much wasted love
I still lost on where I'll go
Where will I end up
