One, two, three Dream killer Don't be naïve, there's a darkness deep in the stream Smile and wave as it floats on by Or dive on in and enjoy the ride (let me come in) There's a stranger at my door (knocking) A toy soldier coming home from war Now I adore (darkness) And out of darkness I was born (I was born bittersweet) So bittersweet (I was born bittersweet) This grim generation (ooh) Got a hold on me (ah) This grim generation (ooh) Got a hold on me The television's on, paint it black See the bobber going down, baby, reel it in Got a monkey on my back, but I'm cool with that We're right back where we started Daddy's coming back, let's get started, hey There's a stranger at my door (knocking) A toy soldier coming home from war Now I adore (darkness) Like it's all never been done before At my door (knocking) Like it's all never been done before At my door (knocking) I was born (I was born) So bittersweet (so bittersweet) This grim generation (ooh) Got a hold on me (ah) This grim generation (ooh) I was born (I was born bittersweet) So bittersweet (I was born bittersweet) This grim generation (ooh) Got a hold on me (ah) This grim generation (ooh) Gotta let it be When I was born, I came to be When I was born, I came to be When I was born, I came to be I came to be I was born So bittersweet This grim generation It's got a hold on me It's got a hold on me
