F# We are the nowhere generation C#m7 We are the kids that no one wants E2 We are a credible threat to the rules you set B2 A cause to be alarmed F# We are not the names that we've been given C#m7 We speak a language you don't know E2 We are the nowhere Generation B2 The nowhere gеneration F# Oh-oh-uh-ohVerse 1:
F#2 F# And one day F# All the walls will comе down F#2 F# All the doors will open B2 F# All the roads will lead home F#2 F# But right now F# We are spiraling down F#2 F# And the longer we wait B2 F# The further we goohPre-Chorus
E2 I know we're slipping through the cracks now B B2 No place left on your map now to call homeF# We are the nowhere generation C#m7 We are the kids that no one wants E2 We are a credible threat to the rules you set B2 A cause to be alarmed F# We are not the names that we've been given C#m7 We speak a language you don't know E2 We are the nowhere Generation B2 The nowhere generation F# Oh-oh-uh-ohVerse 2:
F#2 F# And for your sweat you'll be rewarded F# They told us every day F#2 F# There's a land of milk and honey B2 F# And it's not that far a-way F#2 F# But the finish line kept movin' F# And the promises wore thin F#2 F# And the smoke on the horizon B2 F# Was the burning promised landPre-Chorus
E2 And this place used to be somewhere B But they sold it out from under us B2 C#2 Our voices all ignored( E2 B B2 F# )F# We are the nowhere generation C#m7 We are the kids that no one wants E2 We are a credible threat to the rules you set B2 A cause to be alarmed F# We are not the names that we've been given C#m7 We speak a language you don't know E2 We are the nowhere Generation B2 The nowhere generation E2 Oh-oh-uh-ohBridge:
E2 And yet we climb these burning ladders B B2 Still we raise for them the hammers F# E2 Swinging low E2 B B2 "And what exactly are we after?", they will ask And we will answerF# We are the nowhere generation C#m7 We are the kids that no one wants E2 We are a credible threat to the rules you set B2 A cause to be alarmed F# We are not the names that we've been given C#m7 We speak a language you don't know E2 B2 We are the nowhere generation F# Oh-oh-uh-oh C#m7 (We are the nowhere generation) E2 Oh-oh-uh-oh B2 (We are the nowhere generation) F# C#m7 We are the nowhere generation E2 We are the nowhere generation B2 The nowhere generation
