Unsheathed Strength


The New World can't bring us down Just let us do what we do and when we ask just give a straight forward answer That's all that we ask That's all that we want Don't expect us to believe everything you show on T.V. Don't expect us to believe your filthy lies Behind those unpredictable truths are nothing but empty black holes So why aren't we able to make our own decisions? Why do we have no say in a place where we have so much freedom? Don't you dare tell us how wrong we are and then kick us while we're down You don't think we know enough? Maybe we don't But know that we know enough for you to be afraid Know that we are the ones you should be fearing We aren't afraid to tell things how it is We aren't afraid to make our own decisions We aren't afraid to create our own future with our own hands We aren't afriad to change the world for the better The future is coming People are moving Don't expect others to follow in your footsteps Your filth won't affect us in any way So step aside and watch the next generation of America make a difference
