All My Soul

The New Generation

Here we are
The new generation
The young people
Stuck writing songs
About our fear of the future
You expect us to lead
And yet
All we see
Are the shadows
Of the old ones
Pushing us back
You say
We take no responsibility
And we don't understand
But you don't see us
In shadows
Writing songs
About our fears
Our knowledge
We see
And we hear
And we understand
More that you could ever know
This is the generation
That writes about futures of wars
Pain
Hate
Lies
Death
And yet you still say we don't know
You say we don't understand
You listen to our songs
And you don't hear the words
Cries for understanding
In every line
You say we take no responsibility
Look around you.
