Well
Well I’m witnessing something
I never had dreamed of
Even a couple of years ago
Families screaming and running about
Wringin’ their hands in the sky, singing
No, no, no, not our generation
No, no, no, not our generation
No, no, no, not our generation
Tell us it’s a lie
We’re running out runnin’ out you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out runnin’ out you know we’re runnin’ out
Oh we’re running out of hope
And we’re running out of love
And we’re running out of everything that I have been dreaming of
And we’re running out of oil
We’re low on light and air
And we’re running out and digging holes and finding nothin’ there
It just ain’t fair runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
There's nothin’ there runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
Ah now the car won’t go the pool won’t heat
And we’re eatin’ beans ‘cause there ain’t no meat
And the lamps that once lit up our street
No longer light the way
So we go to bed when the sun sinks low
‘Cause it’s cold at night and the heat won’t go
And the television studio closed down the other day
Hey-hey hey - we’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
Hey-hey hey - we’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
Aah, no, no, no, not our generation
No, no, no, not our generation
No, no, no, not our generation
Tell us it’s a lie
We’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out runnin’ out – you know we’re runnin’ out
We’re running out
