[Intro]
AWhy why why why
AWhy why why why
WF#mhy why whEy
[Verse 1]
AI was off
Keying cars parked on rF#madium lawns
By suEburbian moms
AI called a friend
ALet's meet at ten
Go wherF#mever we want
'Cause no one caEres that we're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
AThis town don't got much to do
AYou and I haven't got much to lose
F#mDo you wanna rock in your room like we always dEo?
ATalk about how fast we grew
AAnd all the big dreams that we won't pursue
Then gF#met in your car and laugh 'til we both turn bElue
[Chorus]
'Cause we are the hAelpless, selfish, one of a kind
MilleAnnium kids, that all wanna die
WaF#mlking in the street with no light inside our Eeyes
We are the woArthless, cursed with too much time
We gAet into trouble and lose our minds
SometF#mhing that I've heard a million times in my lEife
Generation Why
[Verse 2]
PaArents think, we're fast asleep
But as soF#mon as we're home, we're sneaking Eout the window
A'Cause at this rate of earth decay
Our world's enF#mding at noon
Can we all just moEve to the moon?
[Pre-Chorus]
TAhis town don't got much to do
AAnd you and I haven't got much to lose
Do you waF#mnna leave everyone in this place for goEod?
[Chorus]
'Cause we are the hAelpless, selfish, one of a kind
MilleAnnium kids, that all wanna die
WaF#mlking in the street with no light inside our Eeyes
We are the woArthless, cursed with too much time
We gAet into trouble and lose our minds
SometF#mhing that I've heard a million times in my lEife
Generation Why
[Bridge]
AWhy why why why why why why wF#mhy
We're livin' night to night
WC#mhy why why why why why why whEy
Since we're bound to die, oh
WAhy why why why why why why whF#my
Oh, what's the use in trying?
WC#mhy why why why why why why wEhy
And it's exactly why
[Chorus]
'Cause we are the hAelpless, selfish, one of a kind
MilleAnnium kids, that all wanna die
WaF#mlking in the street with no light inside our Eeyes
We are the woArthless, cursed with too much time
We gAet into trouble and lose our minds
SometF#mhing that I've heard a million times in my lEife

[Intro]

Why why why why

F#m E

Why why why

[Verse 1]

I was off

F#m

Keying cars parked on radium lawns

By suburbian moms

I called a friend

Let's meet at ten

F#m

Go wherever we want

'Cause no one cares that we're gone

[Pre-Chorus]

This town don't got much to do

You and I haven't got much to lose

F#m E

Do you wanna rock in your room like we always do?

Talk about how fast we grew

And all the big dreams that we won't pursue

F#m E

Then get in your car and laugh 'til we both turn blue

[Chorus]

'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind

Millennium kids, that all wanna die

F#m E

Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes

We are the worthless, cursed with too much time

We get into trouble and lose our minds

F#m E

Something that I've heard a million times in my life

Generation Why

[Verse 2]

Parents think, we're fast asleep

F#m E

But as soon as we're home, we're sneaking out the window

'Cause at this rate of earth decay

F#m

Our world's ending at noon

Can we all just move to the moon?

[Pre-Chorus]

This town don't got much to do

And you and I haven't got much to lose

F#m E

Do you wanna leave everyone in this place for good?

[Chorus]

'Cause we are the helpless, selfish, one of a kind

Millennium kids, that all wanna die

Walking in the street with no light inside our eyes

We are the worthless, cursed with too much time

We get into trouble and lose our minds
