in the land of dirt and plaster lies an army of a thousand nowhere kids losing ground and falling faster into a life that no one should have to live we are the people that you hate we are the bastards that you created (the fucking bastards that you created) a generation with no place a generation of all your sons and daughters behind the fake family image behind the smile of a thousand moms and dads inside the cage that we've been given i see an image of the future that we don't have [chorus] and what did you expect ... a perfect child raised by tv sets ... abandoned every mile we never get respect ... never a fair trial no one gives a shit ... as long as we smile
