text: You declared you would be three inches taller
  You only became what we made you
  Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
  You only earned what we gave you
  You fell and cried as our people were starving
  Now you know that we framed you
  You tried to walk on the trail we were carving
  Now you know that we framed you
  Im a guy in the sky
  Flying high, flashing eyes
  No surprise, I told lies
  Im the punk in the gutter
  Im the new president
  And I grew and I bent
  Dont you know? Dont it show?
  Im the punk with the stutter
  My, my, my generation
  My, my, my generation
  We tried to speak between lines of oration
  You could only repeat what we told you
  Your axe belongs to a dying nation
  They dont know that we own you
  Youre watching movies trying to find the feelers
  You only see what we show you
  Were the slaves of the phony leaders
  Breathe the air we have blown you
  Im a guy in the sky
  Flying high, flashing eyes
  No surprise, I told lies
  Im the punk in the gutter
  Im the new president
  And I grew and I bent
  Dont you know? Dont it show?
  Im the punk with the stutter
  My, my, my generation
  I have to be careful not to preach
  I cant pretend that I can teach
  And yet Ive lived your future out
  By pounding stages like a clown
  And on the dance floor broken glass
  And bloody faces slowly pass
  In numbered seats in empty rows
  It all belongs to me you know
  You declared you would be three inches taller
  But you only became what we made you
  Thought you were chasing a destiny calling
  You only earned what we gave you
  You fell and cried as our people were starving
  Now you know that we blame you
  You tried to walk on the trail we were carving
  Now you know that we framed you
  Im a guy in the sky
  Flying high, flashing eyes
  No surprise, I told lies
  Im the punk in the gutter
  Im the new president
  And I grew and I bent
  Dont you know? Dont it show?
  Im the punk with the stutter
  My, my, my generation
  My, my, my
