• they feed you lies, not an honest word
    make you think you're free as a bird.
    but you're not
    you have no rights, you have no say
    everything is always THEIR way
    we are forced into routines, no choice but be silent
    because of the man, the boss, the tyrant
    they control you so the way they see it
    my way or the high way take it or leave it
    they tell you stories of patriots it the past
    who's words after a war were heard at last
    but those are THEIR words. the adults are the heroes
    and in their eyes we're just zeroes
    "they're young they don't know what they're saying,
    they think the world is all about playing."
    just because we have young minds shouldn't mean we should be confined
    to being forced into something or having nothing at all
    our voices are loud but apparently our words are small
    freedom is a funny thing that is meant to be for all
    but so far in our lives its only been one for all
    no consideration no expectation we're not part of civilization
    no matter how true, to our dismay
    we're not adults.
    so we have no say
