lyrics

I hope that When you grow up,
You know we did our best
So you won’t end up like the rest
Of this world when we were young.
When this doomsday clock gets closer
And we wake from this hangover
We’ll stand and rebuild a brand new day.
I’m twice your age you are right now
but you have Twice my heart.
The revolution knows no difference
You’re with us from the start.
In this post apocalyptic world
With villains and their schemes.
You’ll be the silver linings
We see on silver screens

Protest boys: Make some noise until the static converts.
Riot Girls: Raise some hell like it’s your last night on earth.

Don’t bite your tongue when yelled at.
Just bite the hand that feeds.
Show your sweat and tears
But don’t you let them see you bleed.
A person is a person, no matter what’s said
Or written on their tombstone
when they’re dead.
So Fight your laws and know your rights
To sleeping well and say good night
To anyone you good and damn well please.

There’s no easy way to say
That Things are hard now.
There’s no easy way
To fix all of our faults

The monsters you’re afraid of
that lie underneath your bed
Are least of what you’ll face
That lies ahead.
