And your generation dines, but the next one pays the billAnd you've thrown them on the fire to take the edge out of the chillAnd you let the planet die, oh, the future has been rapedAnd you've thrown us on the fire to brighten up the flames
You always told me that, that I should think about the futureAs you threw it on the fireYou always told me that, that I should think about the futureAnd then you threw it on the fire You threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fire
You threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fire
You baby boomers built cities out of greedTo take at gunpoint more than you needWhen money becomes the god and wealth becomes religionA human sacrifice is one of the conditions
You threw it on the fireYou threw me on the fireIt will never be enough for youIt will never be enough for you
The lyrics to by the German post-hardcore band Annisokay are a critique of generational greed and environmental neglect, specifically targeting the "baby boomer" generation. You threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fire
