I stand here speaking   You sit there smiling   “So nice to have someone   So young become involved.”   “I understand”, you say,   “You want to change the world   But you have to understand   There are reasons we are this way”      Marching lockstep to the cadence we all know   Blindly passing by the suffering of our own kind   Hypnotized by words that make us feel secure   Trusting in an institution that has lost the way      I sit here listening   To speeches long and short   Trying to understand   You completely miss the point   The time to act is now   Our city is in decay   Open the doors to all   A brand new world will form
