What hope for a generation? Grown up behind the bars What can history teach us? When it's covered with scars We learn to swim But we're swimming with sharks Time is hard, you better Trust no shadow after dark They'll imprison your soul Imprison your mind Cause today you learn to k** Tomorrow to be kind They sure know how to bite Without leaving a mark Time is hard, you better Trust no shadow after dark Small hopes to resist my friend We've already marked Do what you got to do just to try Small hopes to resist The only left reason to live is a reason to survive Small hopes to resist, my friend We're already marked You watch them burn it all in flames Once just a spark You watch them build a graveyard Out of a park Time is hard, you better Trust no shadow after dark
