Lyrics Higher Standards - Life Force

Higher Standards

We’ve got to raise our standards
We need better than violent indifference
We’ve got to raise our standards
We can do better than «heavy and ignorant»
Higher Standards!
The fight of a generation is right outside
But you’re content pushing ethics and truth to the side
I can’t say the same, I won’t play this game
Fake callouts, fake tough, devoid of all shame
Trading critical thought for hype and acceptance
Losing the soul of a culture that was born in resistance
I can’t say the same, I won’t play this game
Fake callouts, fake tough, devoid of all shame
We need to step forward, without sliding back
It’s more than just music that’s under attack!
What’s left is just fashion with nothing to say
All style, no substance, a waste of a stage
When you blind yourself, you blind us all
If the foundation crumbles then the whole house will fall
Instead of a message of hope and defiance
All that we’re left with is tough, dumb, and deaf silence
