Portugal. The Man - Grim Generation Lyrics

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)
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

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)
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
Got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
