lyrics

Shut your fucking mouth
We've all had it with your
Hypocritic, paralytic,
Mythical principle shit

We just don't understand them
How could they break away
What's with these mindless actions
What's with these kids today

What's with us is we don't buy into the bullshit
Roles, sins, morals that you made us eat
We'd be so much more holy, hateful, cruel
If we only had the wives and the kids you beat

We're not the ones with the blood on our hands
We're the body count rising from the ones who say
We need to be taught principles hard
Well we always thought school would kill us anyway

Shut your fucking mouth
We've all had it with your
Hypocritic, paralytic,
Mythical principle shit

What we are's the tired generation
Tired of everything, tired everyday
Exhaustion has brought us all under
Exhaustion is how we convey

Tired of losing all that you ever had
Tired of you forgetting all that we'll ever know
Tired of losing everybody we love and
Tired of you letting all the worst of you go

I want to be drifted back
To someone else's teenage years
When the world finally went silent
When your braying burst my ears
How many more computer-sized closets
How many more innocents to blame
How many more to pile on the sidewalk
We're the tired generation, we're tired of your shame

So pretend to read your holy books
Make sure the real Jesus sobs
As you blame and gun down another brown man
For the rich white motherfucker losing your jobs

How could they break away
What's with these kids today
What's with us is we don't buy into the bullshit
We have our own principles, and they say

Shut your fucking mouth
We've all had it with your
Hypocritic, paralytic,
Mythical principle shit
