I will not sit

And watch the world burn

While you all say to us

“It’s not your turn”

You’re shaping the world

That we will live in

But you’ve gone and broken it all

And we’ll have to save your skin

Our voices are drowned out

By the messes that you make

Only thinking of yourselves

You don’t see the world begin to break

I don’t stand

For the decisions that you fall for

I can’t take

Insanity much more

You tell us we’re not ready

That we are too easy to control

But I have seen those younger than I am

Stand for the opposite of what they’re told

And while I’m here on this topic

Of claimed puppet strings

Who ever said that adults

Weren’t molded under their parent’s wings?

I will not drown

In the river you send

We will take our world

For our own in the end

We care more than anyone

We, the children

And we will not be told

That you won’t listen
