A runaway was found today
dyin' in the alley
he didn't have a name, a number or a home
they found him cold as ice
he was feelin' no pain
His destination was termination
a dead end situation
We are the wasted generation
we are the wasted generation
A teenage idol died tonight
lyin' in the gutter
he had the things in life
only money could buy
he threw it all away down a river of fame
His destination was termination
a dead end situation
We are the wasted generation
we are the wasted generation
We are the wasted generation
we are the wasted generation
we are the wasted generation
we are the wasted generation
