Kids These Days
Rising Beyond Pain: Adrian + Meredith's Anthem for Empathy and Change
Lyrics
Kept with the program showed up with class
Adhered to societal norms, displayed sophistication
You showed me the needy and damn the oppressed
You exposed me to those in need and disregarded the oppressed
First chapter gospel of pain you've ben teaching
Introduced the initial teachings of suffering and hardship
You've their silence and solace
You provided comfort and tranquility to them
But empathy's breeding
However, compassion and understanding are being cultivated
They all grew up
They have matured
Passed down all this grieving
Passed on the tradition of mourning or lamentation
Receiving the love, but none what they needed
Received affection but lacked essential care
The kids are alright
The youth are doing fine despite challenges
They lock up, they got keys, and
They're confined but possess the means to liberate themselves
They're pushing you out
They're excluding you from their circles
cll lawmakers in season
Calling for action against lawmakers
Setting Sights, on the nights
Aiming for particular objectives during the nights
On the crimes, we've been judged
Reflecting on the judgments imposed on us due to our actions
This aint right, we got rights
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation regarding rights
No more lies, No more running
Rejecting falsehoods and avoiding escape from reality
10 years from now, first pulled on the chain
In the future, recalling the initial act of control or suppression
We're all growing up from the left and right brain
We're collectively maturing and balancing logical and creative aspects
Never again you'll hate amplified
You won't experience amplified hatred again
Gonna push from from here
Determined to initiate change from this point onwards
From this moment in time
Starting from this particular moment
