[Intro] [Verse] See every light fade out into the night Like a child who can’t fight for their own birthright Born into debt with a number, not a name Fed false hope, taught to play the game Dreams get crushed under polished boots Future sold off in tailored suits They call it order, they call it youth But they’re choking the fire and burying the truth [Pre-Chorus] DDY DON’T DESTROY THE YOUTH [Chorus] When the truth is a lie And everyone sells peace for cash This economy’s about to crash And we came here to thrash HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LAST? [Verse 2] Land of the free — nothing but a scam Eight hours deep for a burger and fries Sick and tired of the lies you sell Sick and tired — GO TO HELL Punch the clock, break your spine Smile for scraps, call it “fine” Work till you rot, then you disappear Disposable lives year after year DDY DON’T DESTROY THE YOUTH [Final Chorus] When the truth is a lie And everyone sells peace for cash This economy’s about to crash And we came here to thrash HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU CAN LAST? [Outro] DDY DON’T DESTROY THE YOUTH
