Nowhere Generation

We are the Nowhere Generation We are the kids that no one wants We are a credible threat To the rules you set A cause to be alarmed We are not the names that we've been given We speak a language you don't know We are the Nowhere Generation The Nowhere Generation One day All the walls will come down All the doors will open All the roads will lead home But right now We are spiraling down And the longer we wait The further we go Are we slipping through the cracks now No place left on your map now to call home? We are the Nowhere Generation The kids that no one wants We are a credible threat To the rules you set A cause to be alarmed We are not the names that we've been given We speak a language you don't know We are the Nowhere Generation The Nowhere Generation "For your sweat, you'll be rewarded" They told us every day "There's a land of milk & honey and it's not that far away" But the finish line kept moving And the promises wore thin The smoke on the horizon Was the burning promised land This place used to be somewhere but they Sold it out from under us Our voices all ignored We are the Nowhere Generation The kids that no one wants We are a credible threat To the rules you set A cause to be alarmed We are not the names that we've been given We speak a language you don't know We are the Nowhere Generation The Nowhere Generation And yet we climb these burning ladders Still, we raise for them the hammers Swinging low "What exactly are we after?" They will ask And we will answer We are the Nowhere Generation The kids that no one wants We are a credible threat To the rules you set A cause to be alarmed We are not the names that we've been given We speak a language you don't know We are the Nowhere Generation The Nowhere Generation We are the Nowhere Generation.
