    So...here's another set of lyrics from one of my weird folk songs. If you were wondering about the title, I chose it because a friend recently told me that scientists (or whatever) have picked a name for the young generation. Apparently, they've decided to call us the "DIG (Digital Instant Gratification)" generation. But yeah, this song is my take on my favorite part the world's most recent batch of people. It basically just reminds me of all of the people I love, how I associate with them, and how we view the world.

    If that didn't make any sense, then too bad. Just read the lyrics. :p

    --------
    The DIG Generation

    Well I gave up on all those dreams
    I thought they meant the world to me
    And I won't ask for nothing
    But we're so damn incomplete
    So we're changing our desire
    Putting both hands on the wheel
    And we're driving to the sunset
    In our endless race to feel
    Like we are one with all the world
    Or we are too good for this town
    Every mile is a reason
    Why we just can't stay around
    But we are too scared to admit
    The things we never should have missed
    And we're aware the world has warned us
    "Don't you dare end up like this"

    chorus:
    But we're all set
    We're just doing all our best
    Wishing somebody would notice
    It's not hard to fix this mess
    So here's to us
    The ones who never did adjust
    And I guess some will never learn
    But we're as real as anyone

    So keep your head up, look alive
    We'll tell the world we're doing fine
    But we're all so in denial
    That we haven't read the signs
    Still, there are reasons for the truth
    And why they won't give that to you
    There are reasons why we never
    Guessed what everybody knew

    (chorus again)

    So clean the glass and close the door
    And put the petal to the floor
    And tell us that you've realized
    What you never saw before
    You've seen there's just so much to do
    That we've been too tied down to move
    And that their common sense has done
    What giving up has done for you

    chorus 2:
    But you're all set
    You're just doing your new best
    Whishing somebody would notice
    It's not hard to fix this mess
    So here's to us
    The ones who never did adjust
    And I guess some will never learn
    We're just as real as anyone

    So here's to this new set of wheels
    And here's to knowing how it feels
    To be the one who's not a mess
    So here's to our new found success
    And here's to us
