The silent generation:
This world has become black and white with illustrations in clear color
Side by side we dear only protest in silent agony,
for statistics to see and noone else to notice
I cleared my senses so long ago,
discovered shades of gray
Soon blurred lines became crossed lines in a flash of lonesome honesty
In a simple world with simple values I have chosen to be loud.
Side by side we dear only protest in silent agony,
for statistics to see and noone else to notice
I cleared my senses so long ago,
discovered shades of gray
Soon blurred lines became crossed lines in a flash of lonesome honesty
In a simple world with simple values I have chosen to be loud.
