Walking through these neon streets, alone in the night
Echoes of the past still flicker in the light
Back when the music had soul, and we all felt alive
Not just remakes on a loop, barely getting by
Generation X, we fought to survive
Now all I see is outrage and a nine-to-five
Where did the freedom, the fire, the heart go?
Everything's balanced, but nothing seems to flow
Give me a time machine, take me away
Back to when we knew how to play
No endless debates about who we should be
Just living, just feeling, truly free
The neon glows but the world's turned grey
I'm lost in the future, but dreaming of yesterday
AI's got the answers, but nobody thinks
Hooked to the grid, as reality sinks
The new generation can't even decide
What gender they are, caught in their pride
They can't even choose which side they're on
Forgotten the spirit, the fight is gone
Generation lost, in this digital haze
Chasing a feeling, like rats in a maze
No more rebels, no cause in sight
Just work-life balance and fading light
Give me a time machine, take me away
Back to when we knew how to play
No endless debates about who we should be
Just living, just feeling, truly free
The neon glows but the world's turned grey
I'm lost in the future, but dreaming of yesterday
The neon fades, but the dream remains
A hope in the night, a break in the chains
I'll keep walking, through the fading light
Chasing a future that just feels right
Give me a time machine, take me away
Back to when we knew how to play
No endless debates about who we should be
Just living, just feeling, truly free
The neon glows but the world's turned grey
I'm lost in the future, but dreaming of yesterday
I see a DeLorean pass by in the rain
For a moment, I smile, feel no pain
Maybe there's hope in this twilight scene
A flash of silver, a forgotten dream.
