about

The challenges that face Generation Z are enormous. I'm not sure we've given them the tools for the tasks.

lyrics

We gave you the soft bigotry of low expectations
Called it a mercy for any sub-standard deviations

Here’s your cap and here’s your gown
and here’s your helpful piece of paper

We all know how the real world
gives trophies for participation

Generation Z, the world awaits thee
We kinda broke a few things
Good luck adulting

Jesus, Moms circle back into your cars
Helicopter parenting won’t get your kid a job

Not sure what you think you’re gonna to do
Unless you’re applying to be a barista too

I’d like to say these are terrific grades
But we all know about inflation these days

Can you tell me your skills and where you’re strong?
Thanks very much, not you, mom

Generation Z, the world is waiting
We kinda broke a few things
Not solved by texting

Raised on iPhones,
YouTube, and TikTok songs
If you’re not too bored the planet’s yours,
What else could go wrong?

Hey super that you’re using tats to express your authentic self
Great that you can prove you’re unique—just like everybody else

You might feel depressed, lonely, or a little blue
Here’s a life pro-tip: Put down the phone and talk to the person next to you

Generation Z, the future depends on thee
We kinda broke a few things
They might need fixing

So it’s over to you
To solve what we couldn’t do
No blame if you want to take an Ambien or two
