No One Shouts Anymore

Let's go shopping today drive our fancy cars, smash guitars as you listen to every word I say Shopping malls all so crowded teenage angst, as the innocent walk the planks and ignore the rebel who's shouting Crave a big mac mustard and ketchup, no time to play make-up how can I get my future back I guess it's all for nothing all our leaders nothing more that cheaters never did anything, but atleast I said something My father once fought for something yea all we do now is argue, and misuse but hey, I guess it was my idea Who's shouting today all the preppies, just the yuppies who wave a flag of anti-gays What's justice anyway is it in their platform, making us conform but I don't wanna play in their game Rebels use to burn yea they use to mean something, when truth had a ring but I guess it's all gone by the way I can't complain My father and I are still here trying to bring some light, into this fight to win equality away from fear but that was yester-year Just an empty streetcorner cameras shy away, though we're here to stay I guess it's back to south of the border
