Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologize for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
[Verse 2]
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were livin' in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
[Verse 3]
We'll make it up to you in the year 2000 with
[Verse 4]
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were livin' in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
[Verse 5]
We'll make it up for you in the year 2000
We'll build it up with you in the year 2000
Make it up to you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000 with you
[Verse 6]
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were livin' in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were livin' in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where no one even cares at all
[Verse 7]
We'll make it up to you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000
Make it hard for you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000
Make it hard for you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000 with you
