Benjamin Blower The Love Songs of My Genera Lyrics

Lovers, O lovers

Is anyone for real?

Sisters and brothers

I'm tired of the spinning wheel

So we put on our berets and became revolutionaries

Incensed by the enslavement of the masses by a few mercenaries

But the truth hits harder than our fears...

We're enslaving each other - there is no "us & them" here

Show me one good woman

Show me one good man

I'll show you a trap door full of secrets and corpses

We became gods - every man for himself

We're not givers - we're takers

We're not lovers - we're consumers

s__ is like food to us - pure sensory pleasure

Divorced from all human relational endeavour

People are disposable cameras

We take the nice memories and throw away the carcass forever

Lovers, O lovers

Is anyone for real?

Sisters and brothers

I'm tired of the spinning wheel

Give me expensive, spray - on love potions

Give me an R 'n' B song to focus on

Give me a fantasy

Give me divorce

Is this it?

Do we have a good thing going on?

You chewed me all up just to prove your own worth

A desirable product and a handsome consumer

We're all washed up

We divorced ourselves from God

And we've got no worth in particular

I swallowed you down for plain simple pleasure

Since you don't have any innate value either

Love is consumerism

and you're a product for social, emotional and physical satisfaction

Sometimes we're the product

Sometimes the consumer

Sometimes the slave

And sometimes the master

Mostly we're both at once

Which is why all the love songs of my generation mean nothing

Lovers, O lovers
Is anyone for real?
Sisters and brothers
I'm tired of the spinning wheel
We say we're free
We define our own relational moralities
But then we all end up doing the same thing
Wake up zombies
Our s__ual roles have been defined by the media
in the interest of the economy
And power
And the selfish desires of people
Love of the self isn't love, actually
The love songs of my generation mean nothing
Hollow gods
Halloween pumpkins
Male - Consumer - Pervert
In this place these terms have become interchangeable
Female - Product - w____
Get me out of the cattle market
I can't take it anymore
