You** took a piece of me
I don't even want back

But what I do
Is you.

Here’s to us
to the next generation
Here’s to us
to the first generation with shorter life expectancies than our parents
to the next generation to create the most lethal weapon
Here’s to us
to another generation that is perpetuating stigmas around *** and ****** preferences
to the next generation to create cancer causing chemicals
Here’s to us
to another generation keeping racism and sexism alive
And here’s to us
to the next generation to **** up the next generation!

Yeah, here’s to us and all the distress
we cause
Yeah, and here’s to us and all the mess
we cause

No!
Here’s to us
to the next generation
Here’s to us
to the generation craving to live deeply and fully
to the next generation that will fight for our rights as blacks and whites
Here’s to us
to the generation that understands that sexuality is fluid
to the next generation to walk for; work for cures
Here’s to us
to another generation of protests agains lies and fights won with mighty pens
And here’s to us
to the next generation to create the next generation.

These beige walls don't inspire
They suppress natural human desire
Common curiosity is extinguished
Creative thinking becomes abolished
Daydreams are the only way out
Creep back into our minds, doubt
Sunlight is blocked, life stagnant
What we experience? Only a fragment

I should have known it all along
But now I see what was going on
Let me tell you how low and vile
How corrupted and ******* up
But you won't change will you?
You see no harm in what you did
But it's become apparent to me
Exactly what you want

We love the wrong kind of people
In a bid to change ourselves

Once the love has departed
So has our old ways
Maybe we fall for the wrong in order to change.
