Memphis May Fire - My Generation Lyrics

We are the youth, we are the future
We are the youth, we are the future

I only sleep to dream about the day
We don't fall in line
And everyone hears what we have to say
With no question why
As long as there is breath inside our lungs,
We should have a voice
But we've been pushed aside because we're young and
Left without a choice

Have they forgotten that we are the future?

My generation is dying to be heard, dying to be heard,
And be understood
But no one is listening (no one is listening)
So me and my friends will be the voice for, will be the voice for
The ones you ignore,
And we'll be louder than ever before.
Can you hear me?

We'll fight, fight, fight
For the ones without a voice
Fight, fight, fight
Until they pay attention
Fight, fight, fight
For the ones without a voice
Fight, fight, fight
We're gonna make them listen
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
We're gonna make them listen
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
Fight, fight, fight
We'll fight 'til they hear us out
We'll fight 'til they hear us out

Have they forgotten that we are the future?

My generation is dying to be heard, dying to be heard,
And be understood
But no one is listening (no one is listening)
So me and my friends will be the voice for, will be the voice for
The ones you ignore,
And we'll be louder than ever before
Can you hear me?

We are the youth, we are the future
Misunderstood
We are the youth, we are the future
We're dying to be heard
We are the youth, we are the future
Somebody pay attention
We are the youth, we are the future
Misunderstood
We are the youth, we are the future
We're dying to be heard

What do you expect
When you leave us empty handed and without respect?
What do you expect
When you take away our voice and we have nothing left?

Have they forgotten that we are the future?

My generation is dying to be heard, dying to be heard,
And be understood
But no one is listening (no one is listening)
So me and my friends will be the voice for, will be the voice for
The ones you ignore,
And we'll be louder than ever before
Can you hear me?

We are the youth, we are the future
We are the youth, can you hear me?
