Lyrics:
The 40's left us in a mess,
the 50's made us even less sure what we should do with the 60's.
The 60's swept in like a storm, filling streets and changing norms, all while watching our boys die.
The 70's brought rock'n'roll,
Reds to fear and kids control, while they're getting stone-free.
The 80's saw a wall fall,
Chinese students standing tall, and my mom finished college.
The 90's brought us into a war, my mom was feeling pretty sore from just delivering my brother.
And then I became, then I became, then I became.
And I've never been the same.

Since I got here 'been wandering 'round.
Kicking up dirt and making sound. Trying to make it, fake it, say something.
Nothing's new under the sun, it's all been shallowed by the surf:
It's gonna take me, break me.
Take me, break me. Take me, break me.
Take me, break me. It's gonna take me just like it took them too.
Am I wasting my time, wasting my time swimming when I could be sinking.
I'm wasting my time, wasting my time, swimming when I could be sinking.
Tried to put you in my head, tried to swim to the other side,
tried to shallow the sea.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm sinking.
Your Glory left me in a mess,
Your mercy made me to confess: "I'm far from perfect."
Your love swept in like a storm, filling hearts and changing norms--thank God I'm sinking (it's about time.)
