"Never Gonna Die" lyrics

"Never Gonna Die"

Father teach me, tell me, who are all my enemies
Are they my neighbors who believe a different scroll
Are they around the world shouting out a hypocrisy
It doesn't seem right
Seeming like a genocide
Teach me all your ancient wisdom and your biases
These kind of grudges that been handed down the line
I've got my chin up, just repeat the racist shit you say

It doesn't seem right
We're running on suicide
We prolong the fight
We're drowning and it's never gonna die

Don't forget it
We rewrite the truth
The truth is we're worshiping a lie
That's pathetic
The monster devours our youth

And the dreams we make
Get washed away
We're paying with our lives
The truth is that it's never gonna die

Another kid today born into a fallacy
But when we teach them about the wretched past
We'll make another troll spelling out the blasphemy
It doesn't seem right
Seeming like infanticide
Another century of self-fulfilling prophecy
Who in their right mind would believe that it could last
An ancient battle cry that feels just like a dynasty

It doesn't seem right
We're running on suicide
We prolong the fight
We're drowning and it's never gonna die

Don't forget it
We rewrite the truth
The truth is we're worshiping a lie
That's pathetic
The monster devours our youth

And the dreams we make
Get washed away
We're paying with our lives
The truth is that it's never gonna die

A world at war without cessation
The alight as bullets fly
The holy war abomination
Eternal homicide

It's never gonna die
Don't forget it
We rewrite the truth
The truth is we're worshiping a lie
That's pathetic
The monster devours our youth

And the dreams we make
Get washed away, we're paying with our lives
The truth is that it's never gonna die
The truth is it's never gonna die
The truth is it's never gonna die

The song is a title track from Pennywise 12th studio album.
"The goal of the song is to try and get young people to finally say enough, and that the system isn't working," says Jim Lindberg. "It's going to take a massive evolutionary shift in consciousness to change it, starting with the youth, because unless we do, we'll just have more of the same carnage we've seen happening all over the world reincarnated with every new generation."
