Tomorrow Is Mine

Tomorrow Is Mine

We will not be ruled by the greedy corrupted
We will not fall to the failed construction

No

No, they say that land is the only thing
The only thing they aren't making more of

No

No, that ain't true cuz you can see it
All around more land is made
Made for us to bury our heads
Cuz that's where they want'em

No

No, we will not stick our heads in the ground
The ground they polluted with their lies and deceit
They have no plan that doesn't keep them on top
On top and in charge while we go nowhere

No

No, they have no faith in us
They have no interest in us
They are cowards on the throne
We are the brave they steal from

No

No, they will not give us the chance
The chance to fix their mistakes
Instead they will go on blaming us, accusing us
Accusing us of being apathetic and ignorant

No

No, we are not ignorant just because we are young
They are not wise just because they are old
Wisdom is gained from experience
Experience is nothing if time is wasted

No

No, they have not done anything worth calling experience
But they continue to insist we have none
But we have experienced their cruelty, their cowardice,
Their ineptitude, inability, and sheer stupidity

No

No, they are not smart just because they are old
We are not dumb just because we are young
We have minds, we use them, we think, we see, we grow
We know enough to know when a person does a bad job

Yes

Yes, we can tell when the self-proclaimed capable
When they prove to be anything but
The have failed and they aim to blame us
We can succeed where they have failed, but they will never admit

Yes

Yes, they will never admit that we could do a better job
They want us to need them, to believe such blasphemy
The wrong people get paid for doing a terrible job
While we don't get paid at all because there are no jobs for us

Yes

Yes, their inability leads us to need them
But only because they have poisoned this land
With the division of the people
With a battle for power in which only we suffer

Yes

Yes, they have no interest in doing their jobs
They have every intention of cashing in their paycheck
But they will never earn it
We pay them for a job not done, because they make the rules

Yes

Yes, they make the rules, but we will break them
They will try and keep us down
Keep us down with their red tape and insults
We are not helpless, we don't need them

I

I am part of something special
Something new
Something strong
Something smart
Something real
Something unstoppable

Something greater

All these things
And that's why we don't need them
That's why it's time
It's time for us to take control over our own fates
Our destiny is ours to control
They will not like us for refusing their lies
They will punish us for finding our independence
But we will find it

They

They cannot stop us and we will come at them
They have no chance and we will not relent
They have no fire and we will burn
They have no faith and we believe in one another

Those

They are not those we care for
Those that loved us unconditionally
Those that raised us and cared for us
Those are the people we fight to repay
We will give those all the things they didn't
We know that it's not because they couldn't
No, they decided they wouldn't
We love those and will free those from them

We

We are united
We are brothers and sisters
We are the very best of friends
We are lovers
We are forever, till the very end
We are the revolution
We are young

We
Are
Young
