[Verse 1]
Put myself into the light
Become an advocate for one thing
Get ignored for all the rest
After years of aggravation
In a scene where women are shamed
Victims are blamed
And older white men reign over minorities
Whilst we’re all made their property
We see men ignore misogyny
As if it’s not their problem to act upon their sisters
When they get touched inappropriately
Everyone ignores me unless I’m on a stage talking
Because they put me on a pedestal
And pretend I’m just performing

[Chorus]
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away now
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away

[Post-Chorus]
Not my generation, no
Not my generation
Not my generation, no
Not my generation

[Verse 2]
They put themselves into the light
While everyone is still suffering
The country that we live in is fucking up everything
Politics and right-wing shit
Not letting other people in
Ignoring what matters whilst investing in ignorance
I wish I never had to go back
I wish I’d never wrote SAD
I wish I’d had the chance to mourn for my Dad
I wish I could keep it together and not burden you
Telling myself I’m gonna change, but I never ever really do

[Chorus]
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away now
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away

[Post-Chorus]
Not my generation, no
Not my generation
Not my generation, no
Not my generation

[Bridge]
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Not my generation
Not my generation

[Chorus]
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away now
It’s all passing by me
No one can control it
Wash it all away now
Wash it all away

[Post-Chorus]
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
Not my generation
