Not the Next Generation

---

I has done a hip hop. Let me show you it.

Kapitano - Generation eXit

I did it for SongFight under the title "Ruthless Lately", though I think my title is better, so there. This is an alternative version I decided not to submit - which means dear readers, this is an exclusive mix just for you :-).

Here's the lyrics. Spot the Leonard Cohen reference.

Intro
The words mean nothing, just a
Way to fill the empty space, a
Way of marking time, like it
Needed marking anyway.

Fashion's what you do when you
Don't know what you want to be
Style's what they promise when you
Give them all your money.


Verse 1
The words mean nothing, just a
Way to fill an empty song, the
Space between the bass and the
Air with nothing going on.

Fashion's a disguise when you
Don't know who you want to seem
Style's what you buy that's why it's
Called the music industry

They can package everything
Anything you throw at them
Everything you hate about them
Sell it back to you again, your

Childhood in mp3, your
paranoid conspiracy, you
own sexuality, your
personal reality

Chorus
This is Generation eXit
Calling home
That was Generation eXit
Calling home

Verse 2
They used to tell me I was living truthless
I turn around and start to make it ruthless

Ideas mean nothing just a
Way to fill an empty head
Faker man is cooking books 'cos
Baker man is baking bread.

First we take Manhattan
Then we take a spin, used to
Love me as a loser now you're
Looking for a hotter sin

Any clever man won't understand
What's what if their
Happiness depends upon them
Not.

It doesn't matter what the answers are if
They can make the questions wrong, the
Lyrics mean nothing just a
Noise to fill an empty song
