Generation Landslide - Alice Cooper




Please clean your plate dear
                  
The Lord above can see you
                                      
Don't you know people are starving in Korea
                                      
Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles
                                       
Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them
                                     
The over-indulgent machines were their children
                                       
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them
            
'Cause they looked just like humans
               
At Kresge's and Woolworth's
                                    
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
                                  
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets
       
Saying generation landslide
                 
Closed the gap between them
                                        
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
                                          
Who never conceived of us billion dollar ba - bies


Militant mothers hiding in their basements
Using pots and pans as their shields and their helmets
Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs
While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance
Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father
Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour
The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em
But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
