Anthem for a Generation

What pisses me off is they'll gas you up
And say they will follow you
Tell you to vote to make a change
But then they won't follow through
You can go to war before you can buy a drink
They'll put you all away for weed then have you work in sync

People wanna say that shits illegal
Bitch this country is
The politics, the systematic ties, that they don't tell to kids
But it's a dream naw we living in a nightmare
Shits have been serious since day 1 oh that's a bright scare
People let their actions speak for them under a guise
I can see the problem and starts with these old guys
The senate's fucking got to go the cabinet is all for show
The president doesn't even know cause he'll forget about it woah

If I had a DeathNote
I'd be light your L
Solving all these mysteries
We'll race our way to hell
I'll keep all my secrets cause
I have no one to tell
Nows our turn, our chance, our time
Until we die we're in our prime
This is an anthem for a generation
Hurt by the past
A government that never listens
So we'll have to act fast
They'll put a blindfold on us
Give us the wheel hope that we crash
Not like the others cause we learn and love
To change really fast

What's wrong
The system
They'll hear
Our words but miss em
Open your eyes
Cause its bullshit
People our age
Will distract you
It's putrid
Be what you want
Open your mouth
That is the way
We can each have our crown
You hear the Cries
From us it's rising in the street
The earth will quake
It's makes or break
The way we move like we elites
We have the power from the gods
But they don't want us to go far
So we'll just have to burn it down
We'll show them all who runs the town

If I had a DeathNote
I'd be light your L
Solving all these mysteries
We'll race our way to hell
I'll keep all my secrets cause
I have no one to tell
Nows our turn, our chance, our time
Until we die we're in our prime
This is an anthem for a generation
Hurt by the past
A government that never listens
So we'll have to act fast
They'll put a blindfold on us
Give us the wheel hope that we crash
Not like the others cause we learn and love
To change really fast

Sometimes I get stuck in my head
Thinking bout the past
All people fought who have bled
Like can I make a change
When I feel drowned in this tsunami
Emotions folding me like paper
Real-life origami
But I have y'all and y'all have me
To get through all the stupid shit
That we couldn't see
I'm Writing in my death note
Wanna see the system die
Led by a generation tired of their lives

If I had a DeathNote
I'd be light your L
Solving all these mysteries
We'll race our way to hell
I'll keep all my secrets cause
I have no one to tell
Now's our turn, our chance, our time
Until we die we're in our prime
This is an anthem for a generation
hurt by the past
A government that never listens
So we'll have to act fast
They'll put a blindfold on us
Give us the wheel hope that we crash
Not like the others cause we learn and love
To change really fast
