in desperate times we live by desperate means
in an insane world this is the sanest way to be
many are losing faith in this unequal struggle
it only gets worse with every passing day
fight with different weapons
gun VS dagger is it always going to be this way?
decay not what they’d promised
the world looked brighter in the innocence of childhood dreams
we are the sons of the privileged
we are the ones who are stuck with the wreckage of our ancestors
the wreckage of our ancestors
they paved the path that leads the way
and we’re all destined to deal with all that’s left
they ruined this world it’s gone to waste and they embraced it in our name
we are the sons of the privileged
we are the ones who are stuck with the wreckage of our ancestors
