SONG OF THE DAY: The Beat(en) Generation The The released this song 25 years ago, but the lyrics could have easily been written today... When you cast your eyes upon the skylines Of this once proud nation Can you sense the fear and the hatred Growing in the hearts of its population And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced by the greedy hands of politics and half truths The beaten generation, the beaten generation Reared on a diet of prejudice and miss-information The beaten generation, the beaten generation Open your eyes, open your imagination Were being sedated by the gasoline fumes and hypnotized by the satellites Into believing what is good and what is right You may be worshiping the temples of mammon Or lost in the prisons of religion But can you still walk back to happiness When youve nowhere left to run? And if they send in the special police To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace Then wont the words sit ill upon their tongues when they tell us justice is being done and that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun
