Say Goodnight
Unveiling Society's Impact on Youth
Lyrics
What's the matter with the kid's today
Expressing concern about the younger generation
Is there something wrong
Wondering if something is fundamentally amiss
With what they're saying?
Doubting the content of their communication
No one wants to listen does anyone have time
Observing a lack of willingness to listen
Everything is veiled in a cheap disguise
Everything is concealed beneath a false facade
Kids are shooting kids on the news today
Referencing violence among youth in the news
And if you ask me I'm not surprised
Expressing a lack of surprise at such events
Look what they've created,
Commenting on the creation of troubled individuals
A monster by the age of five
Suggesting the development of negativity at a young age
Poor Johnny, he's crazy
Referring to a troubled individual named Johnny
Has problems you can see
Highlighting visible issues faced by Johnny
Don't worry be happy
Encouraging a positive attitude despite challenges
Now tell us what you see
Asking for Johnny's perspective on his situation
They don't listen, no problem!
Not heeding advice or guidance
Homegrown from society
Being influenced by societal upbringing
Just like me!
Comparing personal experiences to societal norms
Keep spreading your destiny
Encouraging the continuation of one's path
And they'll follow your mediocrity
Warning about setting a mediocre example for others
Tell the kids a bedtime story
Advocating for sharing valuable life lessons
About what life should be
Discussing embracing life despite difficulties
When you embrace life with broken arms
Metaphorically addressing facing life's challenges
And their truth can't set it free
Highlighting the inability to find truth and liberation
Brought up with resistance
Being raised in an environment of opposition
Condemn the world for being me!
Blaming the world for personal identity
Are you ready for the fall?
Questioning readiness for impending difficulties
When you're not prepared
Unpreparedness for the challenges of the world
For the world at all
Sense of loss despite thinking everything was in control
You thought you had it all!
