1989

Before I was born there was a legend being made

Far away in California spreading through the East Bay

Four kids with a vision and the voice to shake foundations

A message crying out to all the youth within our nations

Many years have passed and the those kids have lost touch

Gone on to sell some records, tour and work in restaurants

I take a look around tell you exactly what I see

The movements still in full effect to set our minds free

Consciousness is critical without it we are lost

When you float amongst a sea of ecstasy you front the cost

Static indecision will keep on raging like a storm

You've gotta act to make a change into the world we are born

Never seem to recover from the blow

Gotta keep working hard to beat the status quo

When we rise and speak up against the decline

It might be repeating something Jesse/Tim said in 1989

It's easy to ignore if you are not part of this scene

But in this industry legends are few nor far between

Everywhere we look got icons we can look up to

and we're affected more by 89 than WWII

I don't know when I noticed but I was empty as a kid

and this music filled the gap more than religion ever did

When it's hard to understand that means that you were never hit

With the wit to notice it as something legit you cannot quit

Let the truth be known

We only have ourselves to blame

The paths we choose

Are ours to walk so stake your claim!

Tear down these walls

Don't be another victim

As we live on

We'll find the answers before long!
