iGeneration

MC Lars

And people tried to put us down 
When iTunes bumped a post-Cold War sound 
My generation sat at the Mecca of malls, 
Times Square, I'm there, Viacom installs 
So we hit the net while the Trade Center fell 
New York met Hollywood, we ran like hell 
No Vietnam for us, yo, Iraq it's on 
So who agreed upon this cowboy Genghis Khan? 
The choice made, baby. Hey we'd take it back 
logged in dropped out, MTV took track 
They sold it back to us and claimed no correlation 
The iMac, iPod, iGeneration 
And I'm waiting for the day we can get out
The world is ours, that's the story no doubt 
Want to be more than info super highway traffic 
want to be more than a walking demographic!

"Hey! You're part of it" Talking about the iGeneration 
"Yeah! You're part of it" Talking about my iGeneration 

See the iGeneration knew organization 
meant optimization and unification 
When imagination gave participation 
In creation of culture a manifestation 
The Berlin Wall fell and out we came 
The post-Cold War kids laid claim to AIM. 
LOL, OMG, yo, BRB. Space, colon, dash, closed parenthesis 
We sat at our laptops and typed away, 
and found that we each had something to say 
Web-logged our fears, our hopes and dreams 
Individuated by digital means 
Fiber optic lenses, DVD, Coca Cola, Disney and Mickey D's. 
Flat mass culture, the norm that took hold 
I hope I die before I get sold 

This is the I-N-T-E. R-N-E-T ge-na-ra-tion, see?
