Oh what is happening
To our world
The question rings loud
But no one knows
The answer or where to go
To finally find the truth...

How do you know the truth,
When everything is falsified?
How do you know who's who,
When they all are in disguise?
How do we discover ourselves,
If we're pretending to be someone else?

What's going on anymore?
Why are we who we are?
We're all naive, we're all so young,
Our decisions, they are not our own,
We make mistakes but we still have time
To make things right, to compensate.

We can do what anyone can
Just give us time to work things out,
I swear that I have no doubts
That we'll eventually figure things out.
One day you will hear us say
"We have what it takes to lead the US of A."

And I swear it will ring true
Louder than the lies thrown at you,
By the media and others who have screwed
Up our interpretation of the truth.
You wouldn't know it but light is a lie
Its all darkness, in our eyes.

We try to live but they push us away
We try to swim but the sharks are hungry.
We try to be what the people think,
But what they think isn't clear at all.
We try to be bigger than we are,
And it just sets us up for one big fall...

Eventually we'll be head of the state,
Eventually we'll be making decisions...
Eventually we will be bigger than
What we are right now (and less innocent).
They say we'll mature in time,
I say youth is not a crime.

They don't understand our minds,
That's good, because we don't care.
We don't understand ourselves either,
We cut our wrists, do drugs, and drink
We think we're cool until we think
That life sucks because we don't have that thing...

That one thing that we must think
Would make life better in an instant...
What is it, what could it be?
A little slice of heaven, oh please...
No one believes that shit,
Its not right until it is...

We're all drunk and high
Deep, deep down inside.
We're all a little out there
When it comes to where we stand.
We'll fall, its bound to happen
But if you're there it might be less of a fall!

You see we're the youth of the nation
You see you determine our fate and
You see we'll be the future
If you guide us and let us do things
Our own way instead of the wrong way
Our own way instead of the right way.

There is no right or wrong
There is no "go along with this"
There is no second chance
There is no second guessing.
It takes just one mistake
To cause one big mess and...

Who says to clean it up?
No one but we do it anyway.
Because we know what it takes
To be the best we can be.
Eventually we'll see
What it takes to lead this nation...

Don't think for a moment or so,
Just let things happen (oh no...)
Things will collapse (its meant to be)
Things will change, that's how we'll see
What works, what doesn't, and what could be...
Improved in various ways (you'll see)...

We are the youth of the nation
We are the youth of the nation
We are the future, we're still young
We'll have the chance to make it right
We'll have the chance to fix the light
So that it shines all day, all night (it will shine bright, it will shine bright, it will shine so bright all day, all night, I swear...)
