Manic Street Preachers - What Happened to the Blue Generation lyrics
[Manic Street Preachers - What Happened to the Blue Generation lyrics]
The rise and rise of the spectacle has won
Airmail stretched out across the sea
The leaves and grass were
Falling in the breeze
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure
The pace of change has left us all behind
I lie in bed and see remembered skies
When the pen runs dry, so does life
The body breaks and so we compromise
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure
What happened to the blue generation
Dreaming on a once-great notion
Tear-proof and longing for saviour
All abandoned, doomed to failure
What happened to the blue generation
So happy in a wrong rejection
Dedicated without hesitation
Paid the price for a pretty persuasion
