Listen To the Kids

(album: ARE WE STILL DREAMING? - 2019)

Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street

Our planet dying, why you being silent?
Ya'll sitting on ya asses, why you keep denying?
For evermore, whole world gon' need to seek asylum
Warnings on warnings, pushed aside, we keep on smiling, yet
Yet mama, out here laying breathless, we the cause
Critical but businesses securing with they claws
Imposing all the pros no cons
Disrespect, don't accept, in her neck pointing guns
Lethal, most of all the people, who just carry on
Speak up if I'm wrong, some fully, some semi-dumb
Witty when it fit, sucking facts out a sweaty thumb
Back home the loudest, when telly on
With kids in the news, can't zap nor snooze
Y'all leave it to the youth, take it they'll fix, reduce
All your mistakes and all your problems (Let's do it)
We'll triumph in this battle we can't lose
(Y'all better)

Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street

Why don't we all
Listen to the kids before we fall
If we don't act now we'll lose it all
Listen to the kids before we fall
Why don't we all
Listen to the kids on the street
We say we care but is it really how we feel
We say we're there when it's all up in the media
But when it dies down who will practice what they preach
Among the plastic in the sea the dreams of a refugee
It ain't acting when they bleed
We only see what we seek

You can't get it without info
But it really not that hard to understand how this game go
You dip? You getting swiped, skip? They take the next in line
A little smile, ya sole way to shine
So write ya feelings on ya face no facade
Be continuous like the time, find comfort in the wild
Miss us with that poison, we deny the signs
We deny 'em all cause ain't no flaws in the designs

Why don't we all
Listen to the kids before we fall
If we don't act now we'll lose it all
Listen to the kids before we fall
Why don't we all
Listen to the kids before we fall
If we don't act now we'll lose it all
Listen to the kids before we fall

Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids on the street
Why don't we all
Listen to the kids before we fall
Listen to the kids on the street
If we don't act now we'll lose it all
Listen to the kids on the street
Listen to the kids before we fall
Listen to the kids on the street
