I see it in the headlines every week
Got another young lover dead on the street
And as his mother breaks down
There's nothing I can do or say
The politician sends his thoughts and prayers
He's got a razor sharp tongue, but does he really care?
Now I'm waking up tired
When I read that nothing's changed
We're all soldiers
Marching endlessly
In long hair and skinny jeans
Young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we want to see
In long hair and skinny jeans
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Strangers in a town that I've never seen
Watch their homes burn down in catastrophe
And I'm looking for a star
But this ain't no movie screen
The scientists' words won't be believed
Got so many deniers stealing truth like thieves
And as the rain pours down
I'm praying they get washed away
We're all soldiers
Marching endlessly
In long hair and skinny jeans
Young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we want to see
In long hair and skinny jeans
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't grow older
Wishing you'd said your peace
That won't happen to me
We're still young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we wanna see
In long hair and skinny jeans
