Degeneration X

The Breaker's Burnout started over an hour ago...

Degeneration X is out on the rampage now,
Throwing bricks and shooting cops.

Smashing in waves against the ramparts,
Breaking like tide across the rocks.

Taking it down, 
Taking it all down.

Burning the old, 
Cleansing the Earth.

Taking it away,
Taking it all out.

They win by their sheer numbers, 
Far too many to count.

Degeneration X is all the rage now,
A smash hit among the young and stout.

Taking it all away now. 
Throwing it away now.

They have us in their grip now,
Our future their unmaking.

Our past is gone, 
Our past has burned, 
Our past has gone away.

It's all now just a lucid dream, 
A dream of days of yore,
A dream of days gone by, 
A dream of days no more.

Degeneration X is out on the hunt now,
Taking us all along.

They are running against our future,
Running from days long since gone.

Making a Country of the Ever-Blind of us,
Our lives living darker, 
Darker than the deepest midnight's cast.

Eating up our future, 
Pushing out our past.

For you they leave no hope for change,
Just regurgitating, their ever-now repast.

Taking it all with them, 
Taking away all past,

Taking it all down with them,
Nothing good can last.

Degeneration X is at the door now, 
Taking away our past.

Degeneration X is at the door now, 
Coming for you at last.

Degeneration X is through the door now,
Our future-never-past.
