Nowhere Generation

We are the nowhere generation

We are the kids that no one wants

We are a credible threat to the rules you set

A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we've been given

We speak a language you don't know

We are the nowhere generation

The nowhere generation, oh-oh-ooh-oh

And one day

All the walls will come down

All the doors will open

All the roads will lead home

But right now

We are spiraling down

And the longer we wait

The further we go

I know we're slipping through the cracks now

No place left on your map now to call home

We are the nowhere generation

We are the kids that no one wants

We are a credible threat to the rules you set

A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we've been given

We speak a language you don't know

We are the nowhere generation

The nowhere generation, oh-oh-ooh-oh

And for your sweat, you'll be rewarded

They told us every day

There's a land of milk and honey

And it's not that far away

But the finish line kept movin'

And the promises wore thin

And the smoke on the horizon

Was the burning promised land

And this place used to be somewhere

But they sold it out from under us

Our voices all ignored

We are the nowhere generation

We are the kids that no one wants

We are a credible threat to the rules you set

A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we've been given

We speak a language you don't know

We are the nowhere generation

The nowhere generation, oh-oh-ooh-oh

And yet we climb these burning ladders

Still we raise for them the hammers, swinging low

"And what exactly are we after?"

They will ask, and we will answer

We are the nowhere generation

We are the kids that no one wants

We are a credible threat to the rules you set

A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we've been given

We speak a language you don't know

We are the nowhere generation

The nowhere generation, oh-oh-ooh-oh

Oh-oh-ooh-oh

We are the nowhere generation

We are the nowhere generation

The nowhere generation
