This Year's Children

We don't know what we are feeling But we know we feel it This year's children, we can't take it That's why we steal it Beautiful planet much too damaged And you know it Hey, mamas and papas, don't try to stop us You'll only blow it We're young and brave And we don't behave But we won't make the same old mistakes We're this year's children This year's children, you tell us to save But we never had it This year's children, we tried to earn, But you've already spent it You supply it but we don't buy it 'Cause we can't afford it Hey, mamas and papas, why not help us? Don't just hoard it We're young and brave And we don't behave But we won't make the same old mistakes We're this year's children Soon it'll be our hour And soon we will have the power We'll overcome all that you've done And leave behind a better place For the future race 'Cause we're young and brave And we don't behave But we won't make the same old mistakes We're this year's children We're young and brave And we don't behave But we won't make the same old mistakes
