"Generation Cool"

We failed to understand  
The 90's!  

"SUCKER PUNCH"  
 
The 90's ended  
And I'm not sure we cared.  
 
"KICK IN THE THE BALLS  
(10 POINTS)  
 
Blur  
Oasis  
Britpop  
And grunge  
Blockbuster video's  
painful memories  
I managed to expunge.  
 
"TELL IT LIKE IT IS"  
 
Floppy hair.  
Skater parks.  
Signing on.  
Discovering  
Forgotten landmarks.  
 
Four TV channels,  
Shirts with flannels.  
My first job  
My first flat.  
The politicians  
The bureaucrats.  
 
Radio 1.  
Having little money.  
The X-Files  
Mulder  
Scully.  
 
Hope.  
Glory.  
The future  
yet to weave.  
Peace and fucking!  
a stroppy teenager  
Believe!  
 
"PUNCTURED LUNG, CRACKED RIBS X2"  
 
We failed to understand the 90's  
We look back  
Through battered binoculars  
And cracked kaleidoscopes.  
 
"YOU TRANSGRESS"  
 
Memories are our bondage.  
Nostalgia is a cruel mistress.  
Hindsight is subjective.  
Regret is a empty existence.  
 
"FEED ME"  
 
We didn't know it  
We are all specters and ghouls.  
We were part of a generation  
I like to call "Generation Cool".  
 
"GIVE IT TO ME BABY"  
 
The past is out of reach.  
We can't never go back.  
All we hear  
Is the hissing of the backing track.  
 
The needle jumps.  
The future's is in flux.  
We miss the 90's  
Because the present sucks!  
 
(FATALITY DOUBLE TAP TO THE HEAD...)  
 
"...AND THIS IS WHY YOU FAIL! "
 
(Chew''s soul,  and exits into darkness)

Author's Note
Thinking I missed the 90's and how much better it was and how much I didn't appreciate things. How regret rules our life ....and Nostalgia can be a cruel Mistress.
