Our Time for Our Generation

Look at me
Just called to say that it’s good to be
Alive
In such a small world
All curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
And I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance
I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
I can split the atoms of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Driving and I won’t stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let’em all die in exasperation
Have’em all healed of their lacerations
Have’em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don’t like’em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars

Feel the flow,
Hear what’s happening:
We’re what’s happening.
Don’t you know?
We’re the movers and we’re the shakers
We’re the names in tomorrow’s papers
Up to us now to show ’em

It’s our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win.
Our turn, coming through,
Me and you, pal,
Me and you!

Years from now,
We’ll remember and we’ll come back,
Buy the rooftop and hang a plaque:
This is where we began,

Being what we can.
It’s our heads on the block,
Give us room and start the clock.
Our dreams coming true,
Me and you, pal,
Me and you!
