about

I wrote this song in December of 2012, right after arriving in New York City. The air was abuzz with talk of the apocalypse, and it got me asking, why the human fixation on this idea of doomsday? Dropout generation plays with the idea that maybe we are dreaming of an apocalypse because we don’t know what to do with this world anymore.

lyrics

here's a drop out song for a drop out generation
it's a cheap fast fix for an apathetic nation
having doomsday dreams of some wreckingball event
that wipes the whole slate clean again

you could be anything, a politician or a dancer
but you stopped questioning when you got far too many answers
so you chose the streets and the bridges and the boxcars
and the easy money off of highway 84
and when you slept, you dreamt
of some wrecking ball event that wiped the whole slate clean again

because you can't sell out
or buy into any system
when you've got no fight left and when no one's really listening
except for the drop out kids in the drop out generation
singing fall out songs in abandoned building basements
having fight club dreams of some wrecking ball event
that wipes the whole slate clean again

so you turned your back on the life that they were selling
just to buy a pice of the corporate revolution
with peace sign patch and the face of che guavera
and your dumb wet dreams of the Greenwich Village era
spun on dirty speed and the city street pollution,
this is not a revolution
this is not a revolution

it's a drop out song for a drop out generation
a collective dream of an apathetic nation
and their silent plea for some wrecking ball event
that wipes the whole slate clean again
