This Ain't No Videogame
I am a Boomer
And I'm not surprised
Children of this world
See through our lies
They know our planet
It screams and it cries
As we kick the can down the road
And close our eyes
They know that freedom
Is an empty word
When in the next breath
Fear and wanting are heard
And the idea of equality
Is equally absurd
When to the pockets of the wealthy
Our riches have been interred
Shout the truth
And do what is sane
Don't be enablers
To a system of pain
You have but one life
That much is plain
There are no replays
This ain't no videogame
Discover ideas that put
People at the fore
Beyond dollars and profits
There lies so much more
If you all work together
And truly explore
You can build a system
You can all live for
Oh, and there was one more thing
I wanted to tell you
This is the moment
You are the generation
To stand up for the ages
Level up this nation
Don't listen to slogans
Don't settle for lies
Keep your feet on the ground
And your head in the skies
Shout the truth
And do what is sane
Don't be enablers
To a system of pain
You have but one life
That much is plain
There are no replays
This ain't no videogame
And I'm not surprised
Children of this world
See through our lies
They know our planet
It screams and it cries
As we kick the can down the road
And close our eyes
They know that freedom
Is an empty word
When in the next breath
Fear and wanting are heard
And the idea of equality
Is equally absurd
When to the pockets of the wealthy
Our riches have been interred
Shout the truth
And do what is sane
Don't be enablers
To a system of pain
You have but one life
That much is plain
There are no replays
This ain't no videogame
Discover ideas that put
People at the fore
Beyond dollars and profits
There lies so much more
If you all work together
And truly explore
You can build a system
You can all live for
Oh, and there was one more thing
I wanted to tell you
This is the moment
You are the generation
To stand up for the ages
Level up this nation
Don't listen to slogans
Don't settle for lies
Keep your feet on the ground
And your head in the skies
Shout the truth
And do what is sane
Don't be enablers
To a system of pain
You have but one life
That much is plain
There are no replays
This ain't no videogame
