Beatnik slacker hippie or a freak
Ain't it all the same thing all of us seek
What our parents do, way back when?
Makes me hear the same thing again and again

Generation Why

Baby boom or "X"
I don't know what I am
All i need to know is when it's time to slam
Threw a little party cause it just felt right
It lasted ten years and it's goin' on tonight

Generation Why (Yeah!)
Generation Why
It's the same way
It's the same way
It's the same way
It's the same way they treated you in your day!

Generation "A" or Generation "Z"
Who the hell are you to put a label on me?
This label of the week is getting kinda lame
The more things change the more they stay the same
Generation Why (Yeah!)
Generation Why
It's the same way
It's the same way
It's the same way
It's the same way they treated you in your day!
