You thrash and lash at us
You speak ill oh you criticize
But in the end of the day
you need us there

Hey big boss girl at Burger King
You think I barely can speak!
You haven't seen me, at all
All the fire cast inside, 1993 born
I'll blow your head off!
Dear I've seen your ilk
it's the whole world's no ****
You think I can't do anything
while you rocking your Green Day tee
paying homage to those who dream
because we all are of that sick race
because between me and you there's a link

I will chew you all and spit you out.
I will win the war, no doubt.
You will never shut me up - it will be me
the one who decides - later I will scream
I've got big dreams, and I can't breathe.
I've got big dreams - scratch underneath
Waiting is tough - living through all this:
this anxious growing longing for it
this unmet whimsical deep misunderstood need
Scratch underneath - all I want is to be free
Big dreams - they get the best of me
Big dreams - they're everything

when you arrive home, you seek our comfort
when you're torn, it's us you will look for
we are all survivors, I am no less.
we are the ones who keep your heart on place
we are the ones who save you in the end
even if the ones who got lost were only ourselves
A reflection on the role of artists in the world.
