New Deadline - This Generation Lyrics

We can see all the people around us,
The ones we judge, who we keep looking down on.
Hopeless faiths in the morning paper.
Turn the page you're favourite shoes are on sale.
We can see, but close our eyes.
We're making bullets in warehouses and factories,
When we could rebuild homes.

Do you feel it too?

I'm in this generation, it's taking its toll.
I cannot shake it off, cannot shake it off.
Fuck this generation, it's taking its toll.

Day in, day out another battle.
We see people being treated like cattle.
I'm no poet and I'm not a politician,
So i can say it as it is.
We must care for one another.
There's no future if we think we're not equal,
There'll be no stories left to tell.

Do you feel it too?

I'm in this generation, it's taking its toll.
I cannot shake it off, cannot shake it off.
Fuck this generation, it's taking its toll.

But I refuse to give in, yeah i refuse to give in.
Do you refuse to give in? We refuse to.

We are the generation,
We're the children of hope.

We're gonna give it all, we are standing tall.
Time for celebration, we're the children of hope
