Verse 1
[A]I was off
Keying cars parked on [F#m]radium lawns
By [E]suburbian moms
[A]I called a friend
[A]Let's meet at ten
Go [F#m]wherever we want
'Cause no one [E]cares that we're gone
Pre-Chorus
[A]This town don't got much to do
[A]You and I haven't got much to lose
[F#m]Do you wanna rock in your room like we always [E]do?
[A]Talk about how fast we grew
[A]And all the big dreams that we won't pursue
Then [F#m]get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn [E]blue
Chorus
'Cause we are the [A]helpless, selfish, one of a kind
[A]Millennium kids, that all wanna die
[F#m]Walking in the street with no light inside our [E]eyes
We are the [A]worthless, cursed with too much time
We [A]get into trouble and lose our minds
[F#m]Something that I've heard a million times in my [E]life
Generation Why
Verse 2
[A]Parents think, we're fast asleep
But as [F#m]soon as we're home, we're sneaking [E]out the window
[A]'Cause at this rate of earth decay
Our world's [F#m]ending at noon
Can we all just [E]move to the moon?
Pre-Chorus
[A]This town don't got much to do
[A]And you and I haven't got much to lose
Do you [F#m]wanna leave everyone in this place for [E]good?
Chorus
'Cause we are the [A]helpless, selfish, one of a kind
[A]Millennium kids, that all wanna die
[F#m]Walking in the street with no light inside our [E]eyes
We are the [A]worthless, cursed with too much time
We [A]get into trouble and lose our minds
[F#m]Something that I've heard a million times in my [E]life
Generation Why
Bridge
[A]Why why why why why why why [F#m]why
We're livin' night to night
[C#m]Why why why why why why why [E]why
Since we're bound to die, oh
[A]Why why why why why why why [F#m]why
Oh, what's the use in trying?
[C#m]Why why why why why why why [E]why
And it's exactly why
Chorus
'Cause we are the [A]helpless, selfish, one of a kind
[A]Millennium kids, that all wanna die
