They can’t see it, all that we do.
Its because of that, they just start to assume.
Truly, we do more than they could ever believe.
However, its in a way that they refuse to perceive.
They’ve called our generation lazy, crazy is that thought.
But our reactions are adaptive so its hardly our fault.
Our generation, we didn’t create this mess.
We’re working on a way to clean up in order to aliveate our stress.
Think about it,  we get criticized but what have we done.
As a majority, the problems around today were created when we were young.
Those in charge, are from the past generations.
Then they have the nerve to blame us for problems like inflation.
Accountability is a trait, that people refuse to embrace.
They hate how we act, as we try to survive when they created the place.
We live in a world, that our parents made , as theirs did before.
To hear there arguments against us is a reason to be sore.
We have more college graduates now, than ever in the past.
Grab that statement, and this is where we’ll get started.
They ask why we can’t find work after school, when they created the job market.
They outsource work, to save more in their pockets .
So now I will inform you, there’s power in knowledge.
We’re probably the smartest generation, because of what we’ve had to go through.
Technological advances, disease, war and the world changes so soon.
They can’t see it, yet they say our generation is doomed.  
But why do they get to lay claim on the demise of our platoon ?
Truth, it’s because their generation has created the lies, take the lesson.
When we call out  government policy,  they call us crazy just to mention.
but isn’t it hypocritical, when we were raised to always ask questions?
And the answers, well they won’t give us a minute or even an hour
So they hide the truth, so they can maintain power.
That generation, they don’t like our ideas.
So we’re continued to be oppressed, so they can’t confront their fears.
Stubbornness because they just don’t understand.
If one can’t evolve with time, it’ll be the extinction of man.
They always say, back when, the times were a lot more grand.
But it seems they grew up, without even thinking of a plan.
This plan, is one for the future, food for the thought,
Because this hell that’s been manifested, is where we’ve been brought.
Things were better then or so you claim,
For your parents were smart and they paved the way.
Us, we’re a new generation of minds,
We’ve moved forward, in hopes to leave you behind on the times.
A revolution is coming, and I say that proudly
At they end of the day, make sure you don’t start it without me.
All we want, is a chance to yet again make the pastures green.
If history repeats, like the wind blows on trees,
Its just going to be another thing
They Can’t See.
