We are your sons and daughters
Givin' back the hate you taught us
Livin' life like we should be
Neck deep in misery
Can't bring myself to say that
I want what's best for me, yeah
Livin' in a world so hopeless
Working towards a goal so useless
Trapped between bored and hungry
Loveless future, oh so ugly
This will all be gone tomorrow
Sing along in rage and sorrow
Generation in denial
Pushing back our fate while high on
Not nonconformity
There's no return. There's no escape, yeah
Taught me to be meek and mild
Reverted to drunk and wild
Child born without direction
Let loose like an infection
Irony, oh so painful
Sold my soul to tame the people
Hungry beasts who fill their coffers
Can't be all there is to offer
Working class like a prison
Choice between plain and poison
Living in desperate squalor
Always treading paths that falter
Impression given. Statement taken
Words mean nothing to a world unchangin'
Nothing left but buyer's remorse
Consumed wholly without recourse
We are your sons and daughters
Eating up the lives you bought us
Lust and greed overtakes us
'Cause of bad faith dreams forsake us
