lyrics

We did what you told us, followed the rules
And look where it got us, you say we are fools
To want the same things that you had before
Now your house is burning down and you're locking all the doors

And I say, I don't need your apathy
Your judgement or your prayers
I am not the problem, try looking in the mirror
And maybe it's true that youth is wasted on the young,
But who are you to waste lives that have only just begun?

Lives getting shorter, stressed out, in debt
As each day gets warmer, that's what we'll inherit
I wish I could be half as lazy as they say
Need a new direction, so get out of the way

And I say, I don't need your apathy
Your judgement or your prayers
I am not the problem, try looking in the mirror
And maybe it's true that youth is wasted on the young,
But who are you to waste lives that have only just begun?

Eat the young, eat the young, eat the young
