<br />
We are born into a world<br />
Not of our own making<br />
We must pay for the mistakes<br />
Of yours’ and past generations<br />
We were just little babies<br />
Lives ripe for the taking<br />
With a cloud of smog surrounding us<br />
Politicians’ hearts are breaking<br />
<br />
And we’re living for a broken tomorrow<br />
Gasping for air today<br />
There’s no time that we can borrow<br />
Who will come to save the day?<br />
<br />
We were born<br />
With so much to be fixed<br />
All my friends, for their ends,<br />
They fix just for a fad<br />
And we were born<br />
With insurmountable odds against our survival<br />
Guns and war, I’m not sure<br />
But I think we’ve all gone mad<br />
<br />
And we’re living for a broken tomorrow<br />
Gasping for air today<br />
There’s no time that we can borrow<br />
Who will come to save the day?<br />
And we’re living for a broken tomorrow<br />
Gasping for air today<br />
There’s no time that we can borrow<br />
Who will come to save the day?<br />
<br />
But what about my generation<br />
Why do we feel this way<br />
What about my generation<br />
Can’t we make everything okay<br />
What about the destitution that we see everywhere we turn<br />
As we are stripped of hope ‘cause there is nothing more to learn<br />
Nothing more to learn…<br />
<br />
And that’s why we’re living<br />
And we’re gasping<br />
And we’re dying (Ah)<br />
Who will come to save the day…?<br />
<br />
And we’re living for a broken tomorrow<br />
Gasping for air today<br />
There’s no time that we can borrow<br />
Who will come to save the day?<br />
And we’re living for a broken tomorrow<br />
Gasping for air today<br />
There’s no time that we can borrow<br />
Who will come to save the day?<br />
Who will come to save the day…?</div>
