Our Youth

We keep telling them what they want to hear
so that we can hide and shield them from fear
we hide them from truth
and sadly this is our youth

We say no pain no gain
but give them false hope to regain
that sense of freedom a painless life
but without pain there is no strife

Nothing to teach how to live
so everything we just give
nothing to earn, nothing to fight for
so they come back just wanting more

Not knowing what's holding them down
so they turn to drugs, sex, alcohol to take away the frown
they get addicted, they get high
never knowing wrong from right

Because they never had someone to say
you have to fail some days
you have to get back up when you fall
and no matter how hard it may be, stand up tall

There is no such thing as trying
this information I'm not buying
if you have ever tried with all your might
you will know you can win any fight

And if you're fighting for good
you will always be misunderstood
but just keep fighting
because our world you are uniting

Don't fall down to world and their demands
because they will never understand
who you are truly meant to be
truth is that's society

So go be different and make a statement
make them fall down on the pavement
because they know that our worlds youth
is beginning to learn the truth
