We fight for exposure and attention,

Civil War in Syria, no American intervention,

but high school's hard socially it scars

do they say that in Congo where people starve?

We want new shoes, followers, and clothes,

North Korean leadership, all expression opposed.

Teens smoking dope but only seventeen

Parkland seventeen missed by families.

How 'bout we think twice before we complain;

give thanks, rejoice; soon we won't remain.
