What wrong have we done to you
That you constantly have to berate us
For liking simple things that cause no harm?
What wrong have we done to you
That you don't let us enjoy this time of youth
That slowly slips away from our hands?
What wrong have we done to you
That you have to thrust such a heavy decision
Upon our heads when we don't know what to do?
What wrong have we done to you
That you push your burden onto us
When we have our own dreams?
What wrong have we done to you
When you were the one who
Brought us all into this world?
What wrong have we done to you
That you chose to push this
ruined world onto us?
Did you want to see us struggle and suffer
Because of those hefty decisions
That you chose to make?
Well, you may be glad to hear
That we're already suffering here
But you should also know
That we've all cursed you.
So don't sit there and make us do your bidding,
Don't relax your ugly weight on that creaking throne,
And don't hope we'll fix ourselves enough for you
Because there's nothing to fix
But you're too blind to see that.
So instead, stay cursed for all eternity.
