A Fucked up Generation

In a violent place we can call our country
Is a mixed up man and I guess that's me
The sun's in the sky but the storm never seems to end
It's a place of sorrow but we call it a home

We are a fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
A fucked up generation
It's cloudy now
It’s cloudy now
It’s cloudy now
It’s cloudy now
It’s getting cloudy now

Sorry for the harsh words...
I love my country. That's why I'm bitter...

So sorry, Shirin. The tragedy is not simply for Iran; it extends certainly to the whole of the Middle East, and in reality for the entire world.

just be careful and don't get hurt, when you go to the streets to protest, please. All things shall pass. In four years there will be another chance.
Love your look. It's heavy, though.

Is Moosavi under arrest now? Is it true?

I can see the anger in your eye, Shirin.

I woouldn't call yours a fucked up generation, just look at what this election has brought out from your generation, it's more powerful than having a new president who is not your generation and certainly won't represent your generation, either good or bad that yet to be seen even if he was elected.

The effect that this election has brought, hopefully, is the awakening for your generation to realize and make future into your own hands, but in rational ways instead of riot and violence... There are many highly educated and brillant people in your generation, we see a lot of them here in universities getting their graduate degrees. The future of Iran will be prosper upon the shoulders of your generation! So what is another four years? Nothing! There are too many 4 years for your generation (but not for those old and corrupted), no rush, your day will come!!!

My thoughts are with you... The US suffered under a stolen election 8 years ago. Things can improve. Meanwhile, be safe.

And to clarify, I certainly don't mean that you should give up. Stay strong, just stay safe - the future needs people like you.
