To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

I Hate My Generation Lyrics

Sloan

What could you both possibly share?
Other than the colour of your hair?
Sean said, "We both play guitar"

Never even have to say a word
That's the best thing that I ever heard
You have left a fingerprint on me
Just dust and then you'll surely see

I've got my reservations
And I hate my generation

If I was born in the 40's, I'd be a teen in the 50's
And maybe I watch too much TV
Maybe, maybe it's my fault
I should take it with a grain of salt

I've got my hesitations
Wait on your generation

'S' 'E' 'A' 'N' 'S' 'A' 'I' 'D'
'P' 'L' 'A' 'Y' yeah yeah yeah yeah
'S' 'E' 'A' 'N' 'S' 'A' 'I' 'D'
'P' 'L' 'A' 'Y' yeah yeah yeah yeah

Maybe, maybe it's my fault
I should take it with a grain of salt

What could you both possibly share?
Other than the colour of your hair?
Sean said, "We both play guitar"

Never even have to say a word
That's the best thing that I ever heard
I have got my reservations
As I skate by my generation
