Noir - The Kids lyrics

Lithium, Xanax, and Abilify That's what the kids are made of Drinking all night and getting high Hoping they find an answer tonight Our youth is torn, sedated and worn Hardrives full of internet p**n You hear a .45 ring out in the sky Another teenager just upped and died What is the reason for this life of lies? Pa**ing you by with no future in sight My generation is more f**ed up than yours Always waiting for that next big score Always waiting for that next big break Looking for things that even god couldn't save The trouble is all mine, none of it's yours This is what life is like when kids wage wars We worship Disney channel stars and American idols Because a broken home is no role model We pray to the people on the TV screen And you wonder why so many people can't sleep? You give us pills to validate your beliefs And then expect us to still feel and think? You go on about the American Dream But we can't f**in' dream if we can't f**in' sleep You make our lives out to be so easy and free But I'm still cleanin' up the mess my forefathers left me You say children are the future, what future have you left us? Public education from the back of a bus This world in twenty years will be an ungodly sight Yet you still protect our ears with your venomous lies What you're really protecting us from is life This is what it feels like to have your childhood die
