1, 2, 3, 4      Smoke stacks reach the sky   As talk of revolution heats the air   On every city street, in every state   The truth stands all too clear      1, 2, 3, 4      The kids are sick and tired of the news today   Sick and tired of all the lies   We want the truth      It isn't gonna be no paradise   It isn't gonna be no paradise   Forget the claims      It isn't gonna be no paradise, oh no   We need to take the world back now   We need to take control right now      Promises of a better tomorrow   Promises bought on borrowed dollars   No disaster ever looked so great      So while I say   As old men delivered that league of terror, war   We ask ourselves what are we dying for?      And so the kids are sick and tired of the news today   Sick and tired of all your lies   We want the truth      It isn't gonna be no paradise   It isn't gonna be no paradise   Forget the claims      It isn't gonna be no paradise, oh no   We need to take the world back now   We need to take control right now      The richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafés   Not a worry of their days   The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history   His vengeance from those empire enslaved   You better hear us now      It isn't gonna be no paradise   It isn't gonna be no paradise   Forget the claims      It isn't gonna be no paradise   It isn't gonna be no paradise, oh no
