We Are...

By Ideas

We are the children
Raised without hope
We are the children
Using drugs to cope
We are the children
Love forgot
We are the children
Told to be robots
We are the children
Addicted to the anti-depressant
We are the children
The worlds future we represent
We are the children
Without a single cause
We are the children
Held down by society's laws
We are the children
Cowering with fright
We are the children
Born without a single right
We are the children
Holding in our forbidden screams
We are the children
Living without goals or dreams
We are the children
Forever hiding our pain
We are the children
Taking the adults blame
We are the children
Committing suicide
We are the children
Everything is all we hide
We are the children
Not heard nor seen
We are the children
Struggling to be clean
We are the children
Killing off our own souls
We are the children
Not one of us has ever been whole
We are the children
Filled with hate
We are the children
Fear is our fate
