Youth of the Modern World |
You’ve been told all your life that |
You’re the youth of a modern nation |
But all you see in your eyes is a modern disaster |
You spend your life slaving to get an education |
Even though they say |
That «it won’t be enough |
To get the job |
To get you the home |
To give you the life |
That makes life worth living» |
You’re the youth of the modern world |
You’re the youth of the modern world |
The future is yours, don’t let the present cheat you |
You’re the youth of the modern world |
You’re the youth of the modern world |
The future starts now and it belongs to you |
Public servants of the community |
Talking about how much they care for the youth |
But with no vote you become only a photo-op to shoot |
By way of visits to your under-funded school |
And the mall where they taught you how to consume |
Nevermind the curfew saying |
«We don’t trust you, we don’t believe you |
When you’re on the street, no good is what you’re up to» |
They say, they say the youth are angry |
They say, they say the youth are mad |
But they don’t know about you or me |
No, they don’t know about you or me |
No, they don’t know about you or me |
Or you, or him, or her, or you, or me |
Oh no, oh nooo! |
yeah! |
Sometimes I feel so enraged |
Wondering if things will ever change? |
Why the hell does everybody have to buy into the game? |
A society that lives to work |
And a government that spents more money on bombs than schools |
No wonder the kids are always looking for something new |
This is the computer age |
This is the modern age |
This is the age of sophistication |
Yet there are so few out there among the hight-tech geniuses |
That even have a clue what is important to the youth |
Or know what the youth can do! |
And what the youth can do |
Is so unbelievable… |
So unforgettable… |
So incredible… |
And don’t forget it! |
Don’t fucking forget it! |
