Lyrics:

A new generation, and the whole world's shakin'
We were born in flames, maiden names
Suburban homes, make your bones
Bite your lip, take the fifth
Know your rights, it's your life now
Don't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let 'them them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Hurricanes, love in vain
Murphy's law, days of war
Crash and burn, live and learn
Fill the void, girls and boys now
Don't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them them take you down
It's a beautiful day
All the people, all the people run
All the while we're tryin' to find the sun

It's a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them mess you 'round
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them them take you down
It's a beautiful day
Don't let them take you down
A lost generation, now my whole world's shakin' uh-huh
Don't let them take you down
A bad reputation and a dime store nation uh-huh
Don't let them take you down
And when it's my generation, and the whole world is breakin' my heart
Don't let them take you down
A lost generation, and the whole world's shakin'
