"Speaking To The Youth" lyrics

"Speaking To The Youth"

Speakin' to the youth
Yeah, you'll never see it comin'
Speakin' to the youth
Yeah, you'll never see it comin'
Yeah!

You are the future
Psych interrogation
Surfin' on the high tide
Takin' over nations
Watch for the recoil
Propagate the topsoil
Catch you on the relapse
In toxifying turmoil
Proceed with caution
Caught up in the crossfire
Detonate the TV's
Living just to retire
Self serve at auction
Ollie Ollie Oxen
Are we just wasting time?
We're singing

Are you gonna fake it as you go?
Stuck in situations that's a joke
Are you gonna come at it with the same old story again?
You gotta get your head back in the clouds
Silence all the words that hold you down
Or keep wasting precious time

Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speakin' to the youth
Yeah, they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speakin' to the youth
Yeah, they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah, I'm
Speakin' to the youth!

Now you're fed up with the workspace
Caught up in the rat race
Are you livin' right
Or are you dyin' in the dreamscape?
Nine to five equation
It's like a home invasion
Satellite's revolvin' around the earth in infiltration
So take cover
Best to take warning
Take a step on back and yes
You'll find it's quite alarming
Digital invasion
Heads down got you pacin'
That cardiac fast track heart attack
Lands you flat down on your face, man
It's takin' you over again, yeah
Fuel your frustration
Yeah, it's time to begin
It's takin' you over again
Distort your perception
Or shall we keep wasting time?

Are you gonna fake it as you go?
Stuck in situations that's a joke
Are you gonna come at it with the same old story again?
You gotta get your head back in the clouds
Silence all the words that hold you down
Or keep wasting precious time
Just sayin'

Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speakin' to the youth
Yeah they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speakin' to the youth
Yeah they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah, I'm
Speakin' to the youth!

You are the future
No one can take that away from you
Take back your life
Rules are made to be broken
Take back your life!

Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
To the youth, yeah

Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Speaking to the youth
Yeah, they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speaking to the youth
Yeah, they never saw it comin'
Hello! Hello-oh!
Hello! Hello-oh!
Yeah, I'm speakin' to the youth
Man they never saw it comin'
Get up and go-oh
Get up and go-oh
Speakin' to the youth, yeah
To the youth!
