Already Dead

from S/T by BACK & FORTH

lyrics

Just heard about your old fashioned vision of advancement
It’s really sad but you are dead wrong again
I shudder to think just how mad your kids are gonna be
When they’ll figure out their future isn’t in their hands
Think back at our place what would you say if we take out your right to say

Talk to me about living young through progress
I don’t give a shit at all
Our youth is already dead
Beg the kids to be optimistic at your views
They won’t slip down in your cobweb
We are down, but not about to break
We’re not about to change

Hope someday you’ll come to need me
More than you ever needed me before
Then realize that in the time when you could have let the youth express itself
You’ve tripped over your pride
No matter if you say you’re not the one to blame
If the world is about to break you are the only one to blame
