Lyrics

i was 17 when cobain died, we were parked in a field in a 4 wheel drive, blarin nirvana on the radio and drinking beer.


no it wasn't seattle, or north L.a, it was south mississippi on a hot summer day, and everyone wondered where we'd go from here.


metallica tshirts and cowboy boots, generation x'rs with country roots back when you could catch a video on MTV.


that same year we had another woodstock, and billy ray cyrus made country rock and president clinton was sittin in the whitehouse seat.


{CHORUS} that was then, this is now, we gotta find a way to get along somehow. and make this world a
little better for our children too. cause generation x aint writing no i.o.u's.



well their generation grew up with dylan, the vietnam war, Hank Williams and lennon so they know how it felt to lose somebody too.


just like them we had shoes to fill from berkley to the opry to the battlefield, but i don't think weve done all we can do.


so the next time you hear one of their songs, no matter if your left, if your right or your wrong, remember where your from and where your
heading to.

the burden is ours alone to bear, to make this world a little better here, and give it back a little better when we are through.



{CHORUS} that was then, this is now, we gotta find a way to get along somehow. and make this world a
little better for our children too. cause generation x aint writing no i.o.u's.


repeat
