Song lyrics

We are the Nowhere Generation,
We are the kids that no one wants,
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set,
A cause to be alarmed.

We are not the names that we've been given,
We speak a language you don't know,
We are the Nowhere Generation,
The Nowhere Generation.

One day
All the walls will come down,
All the doors will open,
All the roads will lead home.
But right now
We are spiraling down
And the longer we wait,
The further we go.

Are we slipping through the cracks now,
No place left on your map now to call home?

We are the Nowhere Generation,
We are the kids that no one wants,
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set,
A cause to be alarmed.
We are not the names that we've been given,
We speak a language you don't know,
We are the Nowhere Generation,
The Nowhere Generation.

“For your sweat, you'll be rewarded”,
They told us every day.
“There's a land of milk & honey and
it's not that far away.”
But the finish line kept moving
And the promises wore thin,
The smoke on the horizon
Was the burning promised land.

This place used to be somewhere but they
Sold it out from under us,
Our voices all ignored.

We are the Nowhere Generation,
We are the kids that no one wants,
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set,
A cause to be alarmed.
We are not the names that we've been given,
We speak a language you don't know,
We are the Nowhere Generation,
The Nowhere Generation.
And yet we climb these burning ladders
Still, we raise for them, the hammers
Swinging low.
“What exactly are we after?”
They will ask
And we will answer:

We are the Nowhere Generation,
We are the kids that no one wants,
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set,
A cause to be alarmed.

We are not the names that we've been given,
We speak a language you don't know,
We are the Nowhere Generation,
The Nowhere Generation.
