Smoke stacks reach the sky
As talk of revolution heats the air
In every city street
In every state
The truth stands all too clear

The kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all the lies

We want the truth
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises bought on borrowed dollars
No disaster ever looked so great
So while I say
As old men delivered that league of terror; war
We ask ourselves what are we dying for?

So all the kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all your lies
We want the truth
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

The richest of the rich, dine in fancy cafes
Not a worry of their days
The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
His vengeance from those empires enslaved

You better hear us now
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
Oh no
