Nowhere generation    (video)

 

                     D                                               Am

We are the nowhere generation, we are the kids that no one wants,

                  C                                                        G

we are a credible threat to the rules you set, a cause to be alarmed.

                           D

We are not the names that we've been given,

                   Am

we speak a language you don't know,

                     C                                     G                                  D

we are the nowhere generation, the nowhere gеneration, oh oh.

 

+  D - G

 

                     D

1. And one day all the walls will comе down,

                                                                              G - D

    all the doors will open, all the roads will lead ho.....me.

                      D

    But right now we are spiralling down

                                                                   G - D

    and the longer we wait the further we go.....oh.

C

    I know we're slipping through the cracks now,

            G                                                  G - D

    no place left on your map now to call ho....me.

 

+  CHORUS     +  D - G

 

                              D

2. And for your sweat you'll be rewarded, they told us every day,

                                                                      G                  D

    there's a land of milk and honey and it's not that far away.

                  D

    But the finish line kept movin' and the promises wore thin,

                                                                    G                         D

    and the smoke on the horizon was the burning promised land.

                     C                        G

    And this place used to be somewhere,

                    C                     G                     C                A

    but they sold it out from under us, our voices all ignored.

 

 +  CHORUS  (ending in C instead of D)        +  C - G - D

 

                         C

+  And yet we climb these burning ladders,

                 G                                                           D     - C

    still we raise for them the hammers, swinging low.

                         C                                             G

    "And what exactly are we after?", they will ask and we will answer.

 

                     D                                               Am

We are the nowhere generation, we are the kids that no one wants,

                  C                                                        G

we are a credible threat to the rules you set, a cause to be alarmed.

                           D

We are not the names that we've been given,

                   Am

we speak a language you don't know,

                     C                                 - G

we are the nowhere generation !

 

                         D                             Am

+  We are the nowhere generation, oh, oh !

                               C                                     - G

    Oh, we are the nowhere generation, oh !

                         D                             - Am

    We are the nowhere generation,

                        C                                     G  - - - - - - - - - - -

    we are the nowhere generation, the nowhere generation !
