Lyrics[edit | edit source]
You're gonna take me somewhere so you know I care
And it's too cold but I don't wanna go there
You bought me flowers on a string
But it's just a useless thing
You're trying to make me feel alright
Even from all those fights
Is this what you wanted to be?
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
And if somebody hurts you, you're gonna gaslight
But your words don't work several times
You've used your voice, oh my god, you're so fucking rude
Words will win but you'll always lose
And you'd sing a song that'd be yours
But I'd be unsurprised if it ended up in court
And is this what you wanted to be?
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
Oh, you're overpowering me
I was just thinking of
And you'd sing a song that'd be yours
But I'd be unsurprised if it ended up in court
And is this what you wanted to be?
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me
It's Generation Z, Generation Z
You're trying to overpower me, me
