We're the generation of the silver spoon
No one can create, but we can still consume
Now we're all just suits for the next boardroom
We're your quarterly report
So come and guarantee a result
Is passion just a last resort?

But it don't even matter now cos the time has come
Welcome to the world, it'll let you down
The time has come for you to live it up, let it go
Show them what you're made of
And we'll take our chances getting it wrong
We'll take our chances

We've got something that you can't refuse
A 50 foot monkey on the evening news
So pull up your chair and kick off your shoes
The new tech boom's fighting the RIAA
Got the kids downloading and refusing to pay
Cos they don't like the music that the radio plays

But it don't even matter now
No, it don't even matter now cos the time has come
Welcome to the world, it'll let you down
The time has come for you to live it up, let it go
Show them what you're made of
And we'll take our chances getting it wrong
We'll take our chances

The USA's got a freedom of choice
So, call up your congressman, abuse your voice
Cos everybody's bashing on the fighting boys
So, we'll save democracy with war machines
Cos you can't ignore it in the name of peace
And the rest of our money goes to New Orleans

But it don't even matter now
No, it don't even matter now
No, it don't even matter now cos the time has come
Welcome to the world, has it let you down?
The time has come for you to live it up, let it go
Show them what you're made of
And we'll take our chances getting it wrong
And we'll take our chances
