V5.5

[Verse 1] We grew up in the glow of a TV haze, Latchkey dreams in the neon maze. Mixtapes spinning in a Walkman night, Living off truth and satellite light. [Pre-Chorus] We were raised on rebels, We were built on noise, Half-grown hearts, half-broken toys. [Chorus] We’re Generation X — we were wild, we were free, Living in the space where the world couldn’t see. From the malls to the arcades, we carved our own line, Out of chaos, out of heartbreak, out of borrowed time. [Verse 2] We learned life from the radio waves, Cold war shadows and video caves. Arcade glow on our teenage skin, Quarter by quarter, we learned how to win. [Pre-Chorus] We were raised on rebels, We were built on noise, Half-grown hearts, half-broken toys. [Chorus] We’re Generation X — we were wild, we were free, Living in the space where the world couldn’t see. From the malls to the arcades, we carved our own line, Out of chaos, out of heartbreak, out of borrowed time. [Bridge] We were the midnight kids, Living where the edges fray, Dreaming in the glow Of a world that slipped away. [FINAL CHORUS] Generation X — yeah, we carried the flame, Lost in the static but we rose just the same. From the neon nights to the days we survived, We were the ones who kept the future alive.
