Not sure. First thing that comes to mind is Land of Confusion:

I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know we'll never keep

(Fuckin' lol) But that was the boomers.

    Ah, yep, that was the one! I was thinking it might've been Phil Collins/Genesis, but when I looked through their discographies I didn't recognize the title.

    Thanks, not being able to remember was really bothering me.

    But that was the boomers.

    Good point. Still, it was made in the '80s, by which time the Boomers should've known better about their [lack of] willingness to fix shit, so I hope you can understand my confusion.
