Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell the kids they're breaking all the rules
Breed a generation full of fools
Thinking they are free from the approvals of a faceless father
[Chorus]
Dreaming our lives will stay the same
Dreaming that we will win the game
Dreaming it all will stay the same
But only so much better
[Verse 2]
You're never gonna take my shit away
Words that mostly men with guns can say
Oh, but only cowards will not entertain imaginings of self-erasure
[Chorus]
Dreaming our lives will stay the same
Dreaming that we will win the game
Dreaming it all will stay the same
But only so much better
[Bridge]
Tell the kids to listen to themselves
[Chorus]
Dreaming of life without the noise
Dreaming the strangest strains of voice
Dreaming that I might have a choice
And that I'd choose much better
[Outro]
So much better
