THE BOOMER ON THE INSIDE

Remember nineteen sixty-five
Our season in the sun
It was the time to be alive
And then the sun went down

So where do I proceed from here?
Betrayed by age and yesteryear
The curse I can no longer hide
My generation’s pride

Nevertheless
I must confess
I deserve this lonely fate

I wish I could forget
I can’t escape my debt
To all the world I cast aside
A Boomer on the inside
And when the Reaper calls
There is no wherewithal to hide
And I can no longer deny
The Boomer on the inside

Identity is all I know
Surrounded by lost souls
Despite their absence I can hear
Voices dead and gone

Now I have nothing left but fear
The world I knew has disappeared
The curse I can no longer hide
My generation’s pride

And even so
I finally know
I deserve to fade away

I wish I could forget
I can’t escape my debt
For all the reasons I complied
A Boomer on the inside
And when the Reaper calls
There is no wherewithal to hide
And I can no longer deny
The Boomer on the inside

Lost in time and disappeared
Dying alone and unrevered
My generation fades away
A forgotten yesterday

I wish I could forget
I can’t escape my debt
For all the sins that I denied
A Boomer on the inside
And when the Reaper calls
There is no wherewithal to hide
And I can no longer deny
The Boomer on the inside
