TRUTH OF YOUTH

(album: GOVERNMENT VACATION - 2020)

We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents, that your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about

I'm waking up, breaking locks up on dead end ground
We moving as soon as we come, come catch us now
I duck into alleys from caddy's driving round
I'm dreading the feeling of falling to the ground
The young shed their blood on the street, the media love it
The guns in the video games, the media love it
Sex, drugs and violence, the media love it
But when the government cuts it all they say nothing

No one ever hears us scream
Days gone by like a bad dream
Nothing's quite like it would seem
When the flag drops, it's like time stops

No one ever hears us scream
Days gone by like a bad dream
Nothing's quite like it would seem
When the flag drops, it's like time stops

We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents, that your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about

Tie up my sneakers, I'm sneaking out the house
No speaking, floor creaking as we go creeping 'bout
Riding and gliding across the cul-de-sac
Never turning round 'cause we ain't ever going back
Back it up, round it up, into space, then lock it down
We're gonna shoot them down
Had enough, out of luck, still here for the next round
Lost souls never found

No one ever hears us scream
Days gone by like a bad dream
Nothing's quite like it would seem
When the flag drops, it's like time stops

No one ever hears us scream
Days gone by like a bad dream
Nothing's quite like it would seem
When the flag drops, it's like time stops

We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents, that your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about

What you really gonna do now?
You wanna make us change but you don't know how
What you really gonna do now?
You wanna make us change but you don't know how

We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
We're the kids that your parents, that your parents
That your parents warned you about
