Confused Youth

"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up." They're so inatuated like growing up is something you shoot up Some girls my age they want to have a baby Some of them want to get married... they're fucking crazy We gotta fight, fight, fight Fight for our youth Confused youth Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them If we don't act alike discard and try again There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual "Conform" and "Stand in line" make sure you fit the mold It's alright to grow old, to mature and become wise too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance "Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin" "It's time to be serious, think hard but always give in" "You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth" "Grow up to be just like me watch and follow with no doubt" Train children like a dog "Try not to get in the way" "When I talk you should obey" "Try not to get in the way" It's not a war What are you fighting for? Life's not a war There's no need to conform We need help but not everyday There's no need to, no need to use force We need help but not in every single way We don't need utter control "Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up" Like growing up is something that you just shoot up All of us we'd run away, but where would we go? Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go We gotta fight, fight, fight Fight for our youth Confused youth --- Confused Youth - Anti-Flag
