When you cast your eyes upon the skylines
Of this once proud nation
Can you sense the fear and the hatred
Grwoing in the hearts of it's population
And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced
By the greedy hands of politics and half truths
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination
We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
And hypnotised by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right
You may be worshipping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?
Andif they send in the special police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace
Then won't the words sit I'll upon their tongues
When they tell us justice is being done
And that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun
Of this once proud nation
Can you sense the fear and the hatred
Grwoing in the hearts of it's population
And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced
By the greedy hands of politics and half truths
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information
The beaten generation, the beaten generation
Open your eyes, open your imagination
We're being sedated by the gasoline fumes
And hypnotised by the satellites
Into believing what is good and what is right
You may be worshipping the temples of mammon
Or lost in the prisons of religion
But can you still walk back to happiness
When you've nowhere left to run?
Andif they send in the special police
To deliver us from liberty and keep us from peace
Then won't the words sit I'll upon their tongues
When they tell us justice is being done
And that freedom lives in the barrels of a warm gun
"The Beat(en) Generation" by The The, released in 1986, is a #Post-Punk track that explores themes of disillusionment, societal alienation, and the search for identity within a consumer-driven culture. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration with modern life and the pressures of conformity. Musically, the song features a blend of haunting melodies, layered instrumentation, and a driving rhythm, characteristic of the era. Its cultural impact lies in its critique of the zeitgeist, resonating with listeners seeking authenticity in a superficial world.
