The Next Generation

They’ve only one thing to believe in, and it’s in the advert breaks,
Tears not inspired by love, but watching money at the stakes,
The next generation.

The inner self is void, appearance is what counts,
Settle down with a man who cares, (or who has a healthy bank account),
The next generation.

So sell the image to the kids, our eight year olds caked in make up,
Cosmetics makes you money and a more vein generation.

Education not educating people, but giving them maths GCSEs,
They lack intellectual sight, as education steals the ability to see,
The next generation.

So sell the image to the kids, stop the search for meaning in life,
Because the question won’t be raised from a selfish generation.
