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
