We're The Youth

If I think I’m free,
They won’t be coming for me.
Sing out of tune
And they’ll be coming for you.
The men in black
Have come to take me away,
I spoke too much
About social change.
It’s dystopic and it’s right outside your door.
It’s poverty, it’s police,
It’s money, it’s war.
It’s so damn hard to break
your shackles and your chains.
It’s made more difficult by
pains of yesterdays.
I’m left to conjure revolutionary schemes;
A means to attain all these utopian dreams.
I stop to think about how easy it would be
If I fed you and you fed me.
It’s dystopic and it’s right outside your door.
It’s poverty, it’s police,
It’s money, it’s war.
This lack of action’s not okay.
You’re on our side or in our way.
We see what it takes to be free,
No more money, no more greed.
We are the youth, we bring the change
For better days.
It’s dystopic and it’s right outside your door.
It’s poverty, it’s police,
It’s money, it’s war.

Big brother’s watching you,
Everything you say and do.
In your closet, in your mind,
He’s been working overtime.
Big brother’s watching you,
Everything you say and do.
You’ll be gone within a blink,
He thinks you’ve had a bit too much to think.
Back up with your out-dated constructions,
I need to maintain my sanity.
You’ll never steal our souls or passions,
You can try but you will not succeed.
Big brother’s watching you,
Everything you say and do.
In your closet, in your mind,
He’s been working overtime.
Big brother’s watching you,
Everything you say and do.
You’ll be gone within a blink,
He thinks you’ve had a bit too much to think.
Stay out of my mind,
You all just better stay out of my mind
You and your evil kind,
(You’re an evil kind)
Stay out of my life and
Stay out of my mind.

Don't worry about me, I'm gonna make it alright
Got my enemies crossed out in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light
You see it's our style to keep it true
I've had a bad year, a lot to go through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you
If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend
It takes disaster to learn a lesson
You're gonna make it through the darkest night
Some people betray one and cause treason
We're gonna make everything alright
Well the worst of times, now, they don't phase me
Even if I look and act really crazy
I went way down, she betrayed me
Now my vision is no longer hazy
I'm very lucky to have my crew
They stood by me when she flew
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you
If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend
