Youth Of The Modern World Lyrics

Youth Of The Modern World lyrics

You've been told all your life that

You're the youth of a modern nation

But all you see in your eyes is a modern disaster

You spend your life slaving to get an education

Even though they say 

that "it won't be enough

To get the job

To get you the home

To give you the life

That makes life worth living"



[chorus]

You're the youth of the modern world

You're the youth of the modern world

The future is yours, don't let the present cheat you

You're the youth of the modern world

You're the youth of the modern world

The future starts now and it belongs to you



Public servants of the community

Talking about how much they care for the youth

But with no vote you become only a photo-op to shoot

By way of visits to your under-funded school

And the mall where they taught you how to consume

Nevermind the curfew saying,

"We don't trust you, we don't believe you

When you're on the street, no good is what you're up to"



[chorus]



They say, they say the youth are angry

They say, they say the youth are mad

But they don't know about you or me

No, they don't know about you or me

No, they don't know about you or me

Or you, or him, or her, or you, or me

Oh no, oh nooo! yeah!!



Sometimes i feel so enraged

Wondering if things will ever change?

Why the hell does everybody have to buy into the game?

A society that lives to work 

And a government that spents more money on bombs than schools

No wonder the kids are always looking for something new



This is the computer age, 

This is the modern age

This is the age of sophistication

Yet there are so few out there among the hight-tech geniuses

That even have a clue what is important to the youth

Or know what the youth can do!

And what the youth can do, 

Is so unbelievable...

So unforgettable...

So incredible...

And don't forget it!!

Don't fucking forget it!!
