Notes:

Maybe the minds "destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked" weren't actually the best minds of your generation. We idolize the wrong people and the wrong things. Artists make great contributions to the world, but the most famous and popular artists of our time are usually not nearly as talented as they think they are, and those who waste their lives on childish self-destructive behavior don't deserve the attention they receive.

From the album Manchester

If these are the best minds of my generation,
then it's a desolate time but I wont believe it.
If there's nothing at all but cynical fools,
then we've all grown old before our time.


But I know we can do better than that.
Yeah I know that we can do much better than that.
Yeah I know things are better than that
better than that
better than that.
better than that.
better than that.


Where are the best minds of my generation?
Hiding in fear of judgement by the masses.
If everything to know is shown on the television,
then we're heading towards a shining world of nothing.


But I know we can do better than that.
Yeah I know that we can do much better than that.
Yeah I know things are better than that
better than that
better than that.
better than that.
better than that.

But I've look everywhere.
I can't find it.
Look harder.


They're not the best minds of my generation
who speak about loss and leave the world nothing.
If heroes are men addicted and convicted,
then I guess the world is better off without them.


But I know we can do better than that.
Yeah I know that we can do much better than that.
Yeah I know things are better than that
better than that
better than that.
better than that.
better than that.
