We Are Your Future

Hay Mom and Dad It’s been 40 years Since you’ve been born Now its time we change gears You were to set the stage And prepared the cast You were to direct For the torch to be passed And now in this age As we begin a new You were to train us So we could surpass you Of course there have been mistakes Cuz you all were blind You destroyed the world That you were to leave behind Pushed on by greed alone You didn’t know That that was your job So you didn’t show The devotion That was meant to raze The heirs of this earth That you set ablaze But it’s all good We know our task And unlike you Our head is not in our ass And we the newgeneration Will fix what is done Then teach the way For the children to come
