Intro verse 1 Well, I'm witnessing something I'd never have dreamed of even a couple of years ago Families screaming and running about, ringing their hands in the sky, singing Bridge No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation Tell us it's a lie! We're running out, running out You know we're running out We're running out, running out You know we're running out verse 2 We are running out of hope, and we are running out of love And we're running out of everything that I've been dreaming of And we are running out of oil, we are low on light and air And we're running out and digging holes and finding nothing there It just ain't fair, running out You know we're running out There's nothing there, running out You know we're running out verse 3 Now, the car won't go, and the pool won't heat And we're eating beans 'cause there ain't no meat And the lamps which once lit up our street no longer light the way So we go to bed when the sun sinks low 'Cause it's cold at night and the heat won't go And the television studio closed down the other day Hey, hey, hey, hey, running out You know we're running out Hey, hey, hey, hey, running out You know we're running out Outro No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation No, no, no, not our generation Tell us it's a lie!
