We’re awake
Lyrics- They keep telling me to change my way But who made the rules that shape these days When truth is a crime and silence pays I won’t sit still while the system decays Older generations act like pain’s pretend Like we ain’t dying just to blend Tell us to toughen up be a man While ignoring the scars they helped began You call us weak for needing light But we grew in shadows learned to fight Your morals cracked outdated glass Respect ain’t earned just by age that’s passed If your world view’s still black and white Then don’t be shocked when we set it right You scream tradition we scream change Cause we were raised in trauma’s cage Who built the system that feeds on fear Where truth’s a threat and hope disappears Where laws protect the men in suits But chains still drag on migrant boots You say we’re lost but we know the score You made the game then blamed the board You call it madness we call it war We are what you ignored Not anymore Don’t tell us we’re too loud Who the fuck are you to silence the crowd Freedom’s not a gift you get to gate Respect is earned not tied to date If you won’t speak truth then move aside You’re part of the problem if you choose to hide How the hell you old and still blind-eyed While our generation’s barely staying alive They say «Be patient” as if we can wait While sirens echo through every state How many lives will they erase before they see all war is a mask for hate They sign our fate with a thousand pens While kids bleed out to make amends They call it peace with a loaded gun But silence don’t mean that the war is done They drop the bombs then blame the youth Twist every truth then sell us proof While we bury brothers in stolen soil They profit off blood and call it oil Excuse me can you meet my eyes Can you hear the truth or just their lies They debate rights while they pass new chains Vote on who deserves all the pain We scream justice they call us loud But justice don’t come from suits in a crowd You say we’re lost but we know the score You made the game then blamed the board You call it madness we call it war We are what you ignored Not anymore Don’t tell us we’re too loud Who the fuck are you to silence the crowd Freedom’s not a gift you get to gate Respect is earned not tied to date They guard the borders close every gate Then blame the starving for their fate Bomb your home then call you threat Make you beg for help you’ll never get Palestine cries while you sip your tea Scroll past genocide like it’s history From the river to the sea we shout Freedom isn’t something you vote out It’s not just tweets it’s lives on hold It’s grief it’s rage it’s stories untold They televise wars make murder trends Hand kids a flag and say defend You say we’re lost but we know the score You made the game then blamed the board You call it madness we call it war We are what you ignored Not anymore Don’t tell us we’re too loud Who the fuck are you to silence the crowd Freedom’s not a gift you get to gate Respect is earned not tied to date They fund the bullets then mourn the dead Write condolences while turning their heads Talk climate change with oil-stained hands Build green campaigns on stolen lands But what are we fighting and who decides Why are we burying children with pride They say the woke are sick and call us fake But we’re not broken We’re awake more
