Kids you're our only hope
Save us now we need an antidote
Kids get out on the street

Through this smoke rise through the city heat

You loved me like a friend
But now I can't pretend
The time we used to spend
Was wasted on you

Police sirens make me deaf
As I run trying to catch my breath

What's the world afraid of now
We are taught to clap our hands and bow

You loved me like a friend
But now I can't pretend
The time we used to spend
Was wasted on you

Rise from the ashes with a song to remember

Kids you're our only hope
