your genocide of our youth

Why is it so difficult to leave my life alone Cast that last stone I feel like Frankenstein the monster And your a mob of angry county officials Getting high on locking away my roster Big Man you are with you excess of power Targeting helpless youth Who only aim to survive To escape imprisonment alive To everyday simply strive For some acceptance To be be beat down literally abused by your hand Because our hunger over took morals What is right Is right being cold and hungry every night Is right being forced into institutions You've already chosen my life's conclusion My dreams depict my happy illusion Our financial status fusion Causing an eruption of misguided confusion I'll win this war When when it seems every battle I'm losing
