"We Are The Youth" lyrics

"We Are The Youth"

Annie's got a ride tonight
Annie's got a ride to the frontline

I'm tired I'm tired of silence
I'm sick I'm sick of violence

She's sick of hearing 'it's alright'
She's sick of all the reasons and the lies

I'm tired I'm tired of silence
I'm sick I'm sick of violence

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going

It started happening in December
There were children on the street
Screaming for the simple right to fucking live and breath

They put a pill in her pocket
And a gun to her head
And just like that bang bang she's dead

Oh what you said it's all done
Just a part of the job
Until your fingers are numb

It's a systematic failure
If you stay out here with us
If you commit a murder you belong behind bars

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going

I think it's really really dumb
The way you critcise for fun

The way you gaslight hopeful teens
The way you're stealing all their dreams

You're making riches in your sleep
You're acting like it's yours to keep

I'm tired I'm tired of silence
I'm sick I'm sick of violence

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going

We're gonna run through the streets tonight
We're gonna run to the riot

We are the youth

Got the future on the phone
She don't like the way we're going
