Forgotten Ones

You do it for the likes But you don't know what it means Complain about the strikes You'd rather have machines Dystopia is here and no-one noticed You know it's wrong But better you don't protest Vanity has won We're prisoners to our screens Stay busy having fun Just as long as there's money To pump into the system all consuming Throw out the old, the new is so seducing We are the forgotten ones Lost daughters and broken sons History will remember us as A generation without the guts To stand for what we truly feel But so what, hey it's no big deal Let someone else make your policies and Do us wrong while we take selfies You know that we were warned But you think that you are free Our visionaries scorned Words of Orwell and Huxley Are lost upon the ears of populations We welcome fascism and domination We are the forgotten ones Lost daughters and broken sons History will remember us as A generation without the guts To stand for what we truly feel But so what, hey it's no big deal Let someone else make your policies and Do us wrong while we take selfies Left are vilified Poisoned by the right This will come to light When you finally feel the plight Of your sisters Your brothers Your mothers Sons and daughters Your fathers Friends and lovers Your neighbours Supposed saviors We are the forgotten ones Lost daughters and broken sons History will remember us as A generation without the guts To stand for what we truly feel But so what, hey it's no big deal Let someone else make your policies and Do us wrong while we take selfies Your sisters Your brothers Your mothers Sons and daughters
