Lyrics
I write ridiculous rhymes in red ink
Jotting down the thoughts I think before I pour myself a drink
A few sips of the potion now my brain is in motion
Powerful as the ocean causing shoreline erosion
The explosion of technology and fossil fuel combustion
Leads to energy production and planetary destruction
A gift and a curse but what’s worse is the complacency
Your strategy is wait and see? It’s crazy how Caucasians be
And it’s making me nauseous to see these space agencies playing it cautious
Funded by a government corrupted from the foundation by information yet still they dismiss the existence of flying saucers
They’re more concerned with acquiring private property than poverty
And taking care of their people properly
Probably the worst regime we’ve ever seen and I don’t mean the president
I’m talking about the fucking people that don’t question it
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From the world they inherit from their parents
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From nefarious leaders and their heir apparents
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From a mystery God that’s just a spook
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From the Ten Percent that shield them from the truth
I’m seeing problem after problem, kid, and ain’t nobody solving shit
They trick you into thinking people’s power lies in politics
But all it is is smoke and mirrors, fairytales, and fantasies
The dollar is the only vote that matters in this land of greed
Whether you got Benjamins or pennies spend ‘em wisely
If you really want to make a significant difference within your environment
Pool our wealth to boost financial health and end the suffering
Our purchasing power is the thing that really pulls the puppet strings
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From becoming recruits to die at war
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From the rich slave makers of the poor
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From being stranded on a planet that’s in crisis
SAVE OUR YOUTH
From themselves cuz we made ‘em like this
