Lyrics
Generation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What's wrong with this generation
What's wrong with this conversation
It's all wrong
Too many lies
Too much doubt
And unanswered questions flooding out one's mouth
Everybody sounds like everybody else
Everybody looks the same
Everybody looks at what everybody does
But honey I don't ever play that game
People will hear what they want to hear
People will always say what they want to say
And the good ones always listen
Everybody's scared to voice their opinion
Nobody wants feel the pain
Afraid of speaking the truth
Fearful of being oneself
Afraid to say we’re from Africa
Maybe we're all from China
Afraid to say we’re all children of war
Let's not do this anyone
What's wrong with all the separation
What's wrong with evolution
All good till no one finds solution
Then trouble only trouble comes out
Peace is easier than violence
You can be king without your trident
You can sit up on your throne
But without love you can't rule the world
