Can you hear leftover nightlife leaving veins? Can you feel stumbling heartbeat tripping on nicotine? This is the horrible trance of your world's youth in distress You doomed us with war paint, war games, war school We respond with war song, war faces, war spirit When will we outgrow Ender's game? "Every seed dies before it grows" Do you take any responsibility for the outcome of selfish politics? Have you left us here to die? We are your future We are caring for the elderly We advance your technology We fill your classrooms We eat your chemicals We buy your products We will cry to your great-grandchildren We will cry at your graves This is the sound of a billion hearts ingrown, spines breaking You help us waste our youth, our vigor, our intelligence Will you help us die?

Wonder why I'm awake at this hour...
Can you hear leftover nightlife leaving veins? Can you feel stumbling heartbeat tripping on nicotine? This is the horrible trance of your world's youth in distress You doomed us with war paint, war games, war school We respond with war song, war faces, war spirit When will we outgrow Ender's game? "Every seed dies before it grows" Do you take any responsibility for the outcome of selfish politics? Have you left us here to die? We are your future We are caring for the elderly We advance your technology We fill your classrooms We eat your chemicals We buy your products We will cry to your great-grandchildren We will cry at your graves This is the sound of a billion hearts ingrown, spines breaking You help us waste our youth, our vigor, our intelligence Will you help us die?
Don't fall prey, there's still time.
