Aaaaaaaah!  [bad word] was found today 
Dyin in the ally 
He didn't have a name, a number, or a home 
They found him cold as ice 
He was feelin' no pain 

His destination was termination 
dead end situation 

We are the wasted generation 
We are the wasted generation 

teenage idol died tonight 
Lyin' in the gutter 
He had the things in life 
Only money could buy 
He threw it all away down a river of fame 

His destination was termination 
dead end situation 

We are the wasted generation 
We are the wasted generation 

(Musical Break) 

We are the wasted generation 
(...a wasted generation) 
We are the wasted generation 
We are the wasted generation 
We are the wasted generation
