This Generation

This generation shouldn't be this way.
Kids getting shot and tears stolen from the eye.
A riot, only happening half a mile away.
This generation should show no violence, but try.

We have teenage kids drinking and skipping.
Getting caught sipping and dipping.
Getting high off their minds,
Just to get the feeling of tripping.

This generation will make a change.
Make a happening. Make a promise to keep.
This generation needs a change.
The foul odor of violence fills the country and reeks.

What's wrong with the world father?
This generation needs to run away to you.
We need your love and cleanse from your water.
For this generation isn't what you choosed.
