X

Loosen that Noose everything’s too tight around here
Driven by the anxiety to do well and succeed to fulfill the Nuclear dream

And why do parents always push
Because when push comes to shove kids will still do what they want to do
Generation X is changing how we live our life
And for those who identify X with ecstasy
Happiness has been given a new meaning

Individuality has become the new conformity
And no one wants to grow up like you did
Because Life is not a rush to the finish line
And the money in your bank account doesn’t define the person you are and the achievements that come with it

I don’t want the suit and the ironed shirt
The 4 bedroom suburban life and a fancy car to prove that I worked harder than you for this
Because I know the meaning of growing up grateful
To not know if you will ever come home and to deal with it one day at a time every day of my life

And I used to think I wanted to have it all to show you that you had done well
I know now that its not about what you own its about who you are
And if im a free thinking individual who does what I want to do because it makes me happy
If I keep my morals close to my heart and a positive attitude for the cherry on top
Than I know that the anxiety has been lifted from my shoulders

Because in generation X its 2007 and my religion political beliefs and education shouldn’t define whether im better than you but it should define the person i've become by realizing that money doesn’t reign all but the heart that you carry does.
