Young and free
That's what they call us

Happy
But they don't see
We have pain
So much pain

We have scars and depression
We have so many unhealthy obsession
We smile and laugh
But just to hide our tears

We pick up drugs just to get away from here
Our parents yell at us and say we have it easy
But they don't see that times have changed

School is harder
Mentally and physically
We try to change to fit in

We cut our hair
Paint our faces
Change our names
But only for people that do the same

We go to classes but for what
We aren't learning about what's real
They feed us lies and leave us defenseless
They call us useless and tell us we are bringing down the world

But they can't see
they made us this way
They made us change

We were once young and free
Till they said that children are only meant to be seen
We were once happy
But only in play school

Then they took away our nappies and real friends
They told us what we should be
said it was like a game of pretend
They don't understand and they never will

But they were once kids like us
They had dreams but like us they were taken away
They try to make us like them

They want us to feel what they feel
See what they see
This world has become nothing but senseless drones
Ticking away like time bombs
Waiting to explode

You hear a scream
As the clock strikes 12 on the clock of life
Another person goes

Where?
Well,who's to say?
But that's just how life goes
And it seems we're stuck

Till our last day
