We’re the generation of stolen dreams
We look to the future and see barely paying jobs, no health care, wwIII, global warming.
We look to the future and see nothing but a broken world.
Fame means nothing if there’s no one to love you
Degrees mean nothing if there’s no one to teach
Teenagers have to fight for their lives because the adults refused to
And our stolen dreams ignite our rage
We dare to dream for a steady job
We dare to dream of even being happy
With a lifetime of fixing to do and no one willing to help
Our skin is turning bloody and our fingertips raw
Hope is just one of the things that was taken
We gave up a long time ago
I hear the crying, I see the brutality
twelve year olds are laughing in the face of death
We’re facing a hopeless future
How do we stop this?
You did this to us
You stole our lives
We are the generation of stolen dreams
