lyrics

children of the future
are you all ok?
did we leave you guessing when we flew away?

did the news on tv ever make you sad?
anybody ever tell you that you're second class?
go ahead and dream

children of the future
don't believe the hype
I hope you find contentment
I hope you use your eyes

there's a man with his t-shirt inside out
trying to fill your head with hollow doubts
go ahead and dream

if they ever tell you to get lost don't move an inch
if they ever call on you you gotta tell it like it is

children of the future
have you solved it yet?
did you text your brother?
did you phone a friend?

the government is writing a morality play
trying to make everything that they're doing ok
don't worry where your next meal's coming from
we got atomic bombs we got laser guns
but go ahead and dream
