Worth saving? Oh, for creation!
Our divine right is to die and become vacant
I've got no patience for this time wasted

Different nations of slaves all freed by the same king
Different generations of sinners who

Bound together by a legend
To protect use and defend

Lead us to the yellow rainbow
Just in case the earth should fall
If you find the yellow rainbow

that yolk, will carry that hope that broke but the cracks show
Whole generation a youts that could not grow
Without asking the truth where did pops go

Knew that one day I'd be great if that ain't crazy enough
When you giving them the real, they said you sayin' too much
I feel like our generation ain't

To give up on your generation means a better world

to our people can't be undone
I pray and I pray for better days (don't we all?)
But I hope the growing pains never go away
'Cause the pain disappears

The walls be sticky with salt and brine
Get off the boat gail, hope ye had a good time

Not be swallowed by the pain that this world commands
Not be bland and accept mediocrity
Or deal others

Gotta make it alone no one care about our life

Playin at 11 givin' OC noise pollution
Think long and hard
About our world today...
What needs to be said,
And what I need to say
We're

beat up in front of y'all like we bringing cheques back
And fuck the World, Warpath repping hard till its our last breath

Surrounded by a world of people influenced by drugs
Stimulated to never amount to nothing great
In a world that never showed thy

a generation traumatised and baptised in the blood of our martyr
Dishonoured by our nation we were tossed aside
A story you heard in the great books of war

run by the power of luck
And makin a couple of bucks; working a job that they hate
So they can pay bills,
Buy drugs
Buy clothes
Buy cars
Buy hopes

the answer for our generation 
Keep on ventilating 
A bit of patience like a dose of medication 
Greener than the money that you making
What is meant for me is

In the Earth, she holds belief
In the Earth, her hope and grief
Fiona, Fiona
Madness, madness by another name
The sky on fire, the birds set aflame
