Will these words go unheard like all the ones that came before?
Will these words fall on deaf ears?
I'll scream it louder until you can hear,
The echoes we hear can't be ignored,
Look to the past for what's in store,
Accepting less while wanting more,
Will we make the impact that we strive for?
Efforts to make this a threat again,
Figure out where to begin,
Leave behind where we have been,
Out of sight, out of mind, we enter... Another year,
And I watch it all regress, into the things that I detest,
I'll watch one come and another one go,
A dream we'll want but will never know,
More than music, are those days long past?
Radical views free from mainstream cues,
Ideas and actions against distractions,
Put our goals above the fashions,
Once full of vibrant minds, sold as a commodity to empty minds,
We've set the standards low and ignored the bar,
Is this really what we've been striving for?
Efforts to make this a threat again, figure out where to begin,
Leave behind where we have been, out of sight, out of mind,
We enter... Another year, and I watch it all regress,
Into the things that I detest, I'll watch one come,
Another one go, a dream we'll want but will never know,
Another year, will we move forward and progress,
Away from the things we should detest?
It's time to stand our ground or we'll watch it all dragged down...
The revolution summer that came
And went sparked a new beginning for a scene that had been spent,
Marred by violence and apathetic attitudes,
In this new age a rebirth of cool is what is due, will this be our time?
Can we breathe new life? Or will we stand aside and watch it die?
