Make It Out Alive!

Growing up, I was the weird kid
And I’ve come to terms with the fact that not much has changed
Now, I have a few friends, and I love them
And we do our best to get through each day
No one said life was easy, and man, I have no place to complain
But, I’m not familiar with normalcy, It’d be nice to drop some pain
Sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna quit my job
And I think that it’s alright, we just grew up
Now things suck, but we’ll make it out alive
Hurricanes and earthquakes make some people say the world is ending
Come on! We’ve been through this before
We’re hoping for a better weekend, we’re on a losing streak and
Things don’t tend to look up anymore
And I try not to let the little things get to me,
But we all know that they add up fast
Let your tragedies float on out to sea,
Let them be things of the past
Sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna quit my job
And I think that it’s alright, we just grew up
Now things suck, but we’ll make it out alive

Fuel For Revolution

You want to know what’s wrong with my generation?
It’s not us. It’s you.
If you can’t find the answers to the questions that you’re asking,
Don’t you see that the issues you are pondering apply to you as well?
Furthermore, there’s a critical fact you ignore
We’re fucking powerful, and we’ll tear you down
We won’t point fingers, we’ll work together and figure it out
Our words are powerful, and we’ll attack when you least expect it
Lose the hateful perspective, look around, maybe then you’ll finally get it
Let’s start by teaching the kids how to learn
Provide them with the tools, better fund the schools
Let’s practice compassion, let’s think twice about our actions
Get the egocentric attitudes out of here, don’t entertain the fools
Let the youth lace up their shoes
Get outside, soak in some sun, let them run, let them have fun
Let’s join them in the chase for a time of better days
Wave goodbye to your old ways, cause the world is changing but we’re not going away
We have the fuel for revolution
Fuel for new solutions
There ain’t much time till we light the fuse!
We’re fucking powerful, and we’ll tear you down
We won’t point fingers, we’ll work together and figure it out
Our words are powerful, and we’ll attack when you least expect it
Lose the hateful perspective, look around, maybe then you’ll finally get it
Open your eyes, maybe then you’ll finally get it
