Second Generation

How can I try to go on with my life

Say what you like but it's hard to go on

Remember nineteen sixty five

When those faces painted white

Well just like me they did not succeed

So why do I go on

The lies that we hear about it

Never seem to turn our heads

We're numb to what we feel about it

We're deaf to what we hear

There's a posters on my wall

It says prepare to meet thy doom

But i'm too young too young to die

For this I will survive

It's not too late to change the things that we have done

We can't stand still and watch while everything goes wrong

It's not too late too late too late

So tell me who are the people

That sit alone at the top of stairs

Never do we see them

Theirs is no answer to our prayers

So mister this and mister that

You think that we don't know your games

Yet you're the ones with atomic bombs

To send us to our graves

It's not too late to change the things that we have done

We can't stand still and watch while everything goes wrong

It's not too late too late too late

Far far away there are others who feel the same

Deep down inside if we want then we can win

So stand up now you people before millions of you die

Because it's not too late to change our fate

We've gotta put up the fight

It's not too late to change the things that we have done

We can't stand still and watch while everything goes wrong

It's not too late too late too late
