BLIND GENERATION

---

They want you to be Jesus
They'll got down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three. HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME, KILL ME

Looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead. DISCOTHEQUE

The less you know the more you believe
The more you have, the more it takes today. LAST NIGHT ON EARTH

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit
The limit of what we've got. ZOOROPA

A generation without name, ripped and torn
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing at all. LIKE A SONG

And I have no compass
And I have no map
And I have no reasons
No reasons to get back. ZOOROPA

We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong. 11 O’CLOCK TICK TOCK

Too set in our ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song. LIKE A SONG

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
I feel like I'm holding on to nothing...
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look for something other. LEMON

Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year?
Are these words distraction
To the words you wanna hear? TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE

I feel numb
Too much is not enough
Gimme some more...
Of that stuff love
Too much is not enough. NUMB 

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die. SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun...
Not just deaf and dumb
I’­m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind. STARING AT THE SUN

Don't think, don't worry, everything's just fine—just fine...
Don't answer, don't ask, don't try and make sense. NUMB

What am I to do?
Have I got the gifts to get me through
The gates of that mansion?
What have we got to lose?
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion. THE PLAYBOY MANSION

Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door. IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep…
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away…
She already knows it hurts
She's living like it the last night on earth. LAST NIGHT ON EARTH

Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
Till the colours come flashing
And the lights go on
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame. THE PLAYBOY MANSION

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
Oh you know there's something more
But tonight, tonight, tonight. DISCOTHEQUE
