There's another '80s song on the tip of my tongue about how Gen X is gonna fix everything that makes me feel distinctly let down every time I hear it these days, but I can't quite remember. It's less metal and more pop, kinda halfway between "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby, but I don't think that's it. Any ideas?
Not sure. First thing that comes to mind is Land of Confusion:
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
(Fuckin' lol) But that was the boomers.
Ah, yep, that was the one! I was thinking it might've been Phil Collins/Genesis, but when I looked through their discographies I didn't recognize the title.
Thanks, not being able to remember was really bothering me.
Good point. Still, it was made in the '80s, by which time the Boomers should've known better about their [lack of] willingness to fix shit, so I hope you can understand my confusion.
