Generation Landslide '81 (Live)

Please clean your plate dear the Lord above can see ya

Don't you know people are starving in Korea

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles,

Kindergarten people, they used 'em they need 'em

The over indulgent machines were their children

And there wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em

Cos they look just like humans at Kresge's and Woolworths

But decadent brains were at work to destroy

Brats in batallions were ruling the streets and

Generation landslide, close the gap between them

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived those billion dollar babies

La da da da daa

Militant mothers hiding in the basement

Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink highchairs

While mothers' lib burns birth certificate papers

And dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer

Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance

Sister's out til 5, doing banker son's hours

But she owns a Mazarotti that's a gift from his father

Stop at full speed, at 100 miles per hour

The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived those billion dollar babies

La da da da daa

No one gives an oink about prom night or football

Cos just getting home from school safe is a gamble and a blessing

Girlsies play with girlsies and boysies with boysies

Bored with one another, like old broken Christmas toysies

Kids are all hot and their parents so are noisy

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived those billion dollar babies
