About The Future

What this generation needs is a war
But it's hard to choose a side when you don't know which is right.
All my friends are frustrated, boring or bored
Yes, they all derrain their minds without a good excuse as to why -
Lusting after yesterdays golden stars,
Ah well, maybe that just never happens anymore.

What this generation needs is a score -
Because we realise we can all get along
But no one is willing to drop their arms.
For our forefathers have made reforms
To civil rights and moral law.
But now that fewer are maligned,
There's less pushing us over the line
Oh we really ain't that far -
But somehow none of that matters anymore

And the results of all this is we're rushing on our own
Cos we ain't with the people we look like but we ain't part of the whole
We almost understand our world but we're resting on our laurels
And now my heart is shattered
We can't even try, even when it matters

Oh so please don't let me go without you
My heart never shows without you
Lately things have been so distant
And I don't know what I can do to fix it
Why don't you love me like you used to
Why do I worry about the future?
Is it just that how we manage is not by love, but force of habit
And if only I could be a man
Rip down all your dreams and plans
Smash in all of your pretty things so the only thing you could see was me
For what we're done should be a crime
We should be locked up so we never see the light
In the darkness we could see how worthless all our lives must be
If two lovers like us can drift apart
There must be something wrong with our hearts
Must be something wrong with all of us to never care til things are lost
Why don't you love me like you used to
Why do I worry about the future?
