90's Baby

lyrics

I was born on the day after Kurt Cobain died
But I still remember 9/11
I was scared and confused
Watching my Mom cry at the News
Thinking, 'what happened and why
Is she so sad?'
I think I knew things would never be the same

We rode our bikes in the woods
They tore down to build more houses
But the market crashed
And there's nothing there today
We got mad so we stole
All the stakes they stuck in the ground
And pretended they were swords so we could fight
But still, I knew things would never be the same

All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one's been "becoming"
But the optimism fades more and more each passing day
I think I'd settle for just barely getting by

As a child, I believed
That life was a suburban dream
But time has gone and taught me otherwise
Now the things that I see
They are violent and obscene
And we all just ignore each other's pain
And I'm afraid things could always be the same

All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one's been "becoming"
But the optimism fades more and more each passing day
I think I'd settle for just barely getting by

No, I wasn't raised like this
To be a pessimist
No, I wasn't raised to just scrape through and die
No, I wasn't raised like this
So I jump and pound my fist
No, I wasn't raised to quit without a fight

All my life, I've been waiting to begin
Living in the world that this one sure ain't "becoming"
But though the optimism fades, something stronger will remain
And I won't settle for just barely getting by
I won't settle for just barely getting by
