Annotationen
Dieser Song definiert die Generation X. Er war eine Hymne der emotionalen Distanziertheit dieser Generation. Ihre Haltung war: «eure Scheiss-Welt geht mich nichts an, ihr habt mich in euren Trash hineingeboren und ich bin selbst Trash».
Als die Sex Pistols ein britisches Blank Generation
komponierten, kam Pretty Vacant heraus.

Lyrics
I was sayin' let me out of here before I was Even born, it's such a gamble when you get a face It's fascinatin' to observe what the mirror does But when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place [Chorus:] I belong to the blank generation and I can take it or leave it each time I belong to the generation but I can take it or leave it each time Triangles were fallin' at the window as the doctor cursed He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!" [Chorus] To hold the T.V. to my lips, the air so packed with cash Then carry it up flights of stairs and drop it in the vacant lot To lose my train of thought and fall into your arms' tracks And watch beneath the eyelids every passing dot [Chorus x 2]
