Goddamn Kids These Days

Amidst the most barren scene how are we lost?

Lost?

Lost?

You've got to be fucking kidding me

Shut up

Just give me the wheel and I'll drive

You are not yet fit to speak on my behalf

We deserve to be moved by more than force alone

Instead I've been witness to loss

Upon loss

Upon loss

I'm assailed by the thoughtless who sing to their own

Caught in the middle

I'm pinned between the egos and the drones

Skill has been called to arms

Goddamn kids have grown up to let down

All around us are dissonant sounds

We're misplaced and we'll never be found

All these kids have grown up to let down

I'll be spinning in my grave for the rest of my life

Have I taught you children nothing all this time?

This labyrinth that we're puzzled by

Is nothing but a straight line

But sometimes those are even harder to navigate

We deserve to be moved by more than force alone

Instead I've been witness to loss

Upon loss

Upon loss

I'm assailed by the thoughtless who sing to their own

Caught in the middle

I'm pinned between the egos and the drones

Pride has been called to arms

Goddamn kids have grown up to let down

All around us are dissonant sounds

We're misplaced and we'll never be found

All these kids have grown up to let down

If this is the state of my art

Then I secede

If this is the state of my art

Then I secede

We're walking Spanish down a plank that stretches miles

You are not yet fit to speak on my behalf

What a shame we're forced

To suffer this senselessness and insanity
