A Generation Born To Wander 

We were born to a generation born to wander and wonder 

We mean to pay off our student loans but we spent all our money on Gas and Rent 

We wanted to travel but we live paycheck to paycheck still hoping 

To achieve our dreams but stuck in the more of despair that plagues our generation 

We want to spend time dwelling on life’s mysteries and raging against the machine 

That drowns us in debt and prohibits us from wandering 

But we’re stuck as cogs in a system that doesn’t care about us 

Wondering where it all went wrong 

What did the past do to screw us 

What wrong turn did we take to end up here 

Hoping against hope that one day we’ll be able to wonder and wander to our hearts content 

All of the college and high school kids are medicated 

And so are we 

Just so we can make it through the day 

Antidepressants, uppers, downers, Adderall, we’re prescribed it all 

I don’t think I’ll ever cure my lust to just disappear 

And run away from all the crap I deal with 

Cause I’m born to a generation prone to wander 

But we blew out life savings fixing up the car that’s 10 years old and all we can afford 

While trying to stay up to date on rent 

And pay off our student loan debt 

So don’t ask me about tomorrow 

Cause I haven’t learned from yesterday quite yet 

S I’ll buy a house built in the 60’s and use all the strings attached 

To sew up my chewed up heart 

While wondering why we keep putting the same people in charge  

Not that I could do better just hoping to get the chance to wander again.
