Restless Generation

I feel like I need something

To turn this cold grey world into a beautiful rainbow

I am one of the restless generation

Just give me something to make me feel good.

Woke up today in Denver

Twenty dollars to my name

Stole it from Daddy’s wallet

He won’t miss it anyway

Not so long ago

Found a button in my drink

Swirling colors, great fields

Of red, blue and pink

I feel like I need something

To turn this cold grey world into a beautiful rainbow

I am one of the restless generation

Just give me something to make me feel good.

So here I am in Coos Bay

Standin’ in the God Damned rain

I am so filthy people look at me in pain

I am sick and lonely as I can be

But I got a whole bottle of gin

And that’s all that matters to me

And I feel like I need someone

Who’ll let me be the way I wanna be

I am one of the restless generation

Just give me a drink and let me fly away

On satin sheets in Vegas

Is where I lay my head

A warm body is bound to feel alright

I need someone to help me

Fill the emptiness inside

Give me someone to love

Give me somewhere to hide

I feel like I need something

To turn this cold grey world into a beautiful rainbow

I am one of the restless generation

Just give me something to make me feel good.

And I feel like I need someone

Who’ll let me be the way I wanna be

I am one of the restless generation

Just give me some love and let me fly away
