Ode to the Youth lyrics
Here comes another savior to save the day,
All your wishes and your dreams will come true they will say,
What your told to do is lay down your arms and take up hope,
And as the savior fades to shame – years go by – no say – no change,
The fraud on full display,
Only your own collective can secure your rights,
Your own actions – your own aims – your own thinking,
Your initiative,
All youth of today, Stake your claim, the future is yours,
Your life – your say, Don’t let the rulers dictate fate,
They sacrifice your life for their own gain,
Their endless wars of conquest have all of us in harm’s way,
The bloodshed has no end under this rotten system,
Where the rich go bombs away and then laugh on down to the bank,
Their saviors left to thank,
They have nothing but their wars in store for you,
And a lifetime as a wage slave, oh to the grave, no-no-no-no,
All youth of today, Stake your claim, the future is yours,
Your life – your say, Don’t let the rulers dictate fate,
Concern the climate’s gonna burn around the world,
Don’t let the god’s of plague play their games,
Oh promises broken,
All youth of today, Stake your claim, the future is yours,
Your life – your say, Don’t let the rulers dictate fate.
