lyrics

Living child in the dead world
Don't listen to old men
Don't wait for them to tell you
It's okay to live again
Living child in the dead world
All mad to be saved
Don't let them think you've got to
Live alone with their brand names
Every generation always does this shit
Swearing they know better
Then they burn us to a crisp
Don't be like this

Living child in the dead world
I heard the news today
Don't let them try to close your eyes
And make it go away
Living child in the dead world
Don't just wait in line
For some new way to come along
(but it better work this time)
Every generation is always so quick
To start the fire and point their fingers
Once the fuse is lit
Don't be like this

Living child in the dead world
Don't dance in defeat
Don't let them turn you into
The highway drone of their ennui
Living child in the dead world
With future unseen
Don't spend it trying to chain yourself
To all our dumb routines
Every generation is all about the kids
Tell them they're the future
Then betray them with a kiss
Don't be like this

Don't be like this
