We Are The Youth
[Verse 1]
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 ‘its 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
[Chorus]
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’rе going
We’re gonna run through the streets tonight
Wе’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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I think it’s really really dumb
The way you criticise 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
[Chorus]
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
