| Not Just the Future |
| Old voice recording [Quiet]: "Our children are our future" Everyone is always telling us "You are the future." But what about now!? We have a need to change things, to throw a wrench in the works We have ideas, we've got plans We're not all stupid, if you'd give us a chance We can make a difference CHORUS: We are the NOW! Not just the future Listen to youth, give us some say We know what we need, and we need it today We understand the world, much better than you know And if you can't take it, then you've got to go We are here, we are the now "The boy's not right" "That'll never work" Well, give it a chance, don't judge so fast We say stupid things because we know you won't listen Say "yes" instead of "no" and then you'll see Everyone's always telling us "work hard, you can make a difference someday" Well, what about now!? [CHORUS] We need more than a one-word answer Don't sweep our thoughts away with your hand Don't shut them out with a solid steel door Your mind has become an impenetrable fortress Why must we be the enemy? [Slower] You're always telling us we can be anything So... [Hard and Fast] What about now!!? Everybody's telling us that we are the future... (What about now?) Everybody's telling us that someday we'll make a difference... (What about now?) They're always telling us "You can be anything"... (What about now?) So, go spread the word, because we're not just the future anymore -Kegan Shepard |
