[Verse] Why do the gray men call the shots Sending us where the fire's hot They play their games We take the fall Who gave them the right to risk it all [Chorus] I don’t want to see the sky turn red I don’t want to count the names of the dead Why do mean old men hold the key When the world could be run by kids like me [Verse 2] They sit in rooms so far away While the young are made to pay The cost of greed and power’s lie While we just dream and wonder why [Chorus] I don’t want to see the sky turn red I don’t want to count the names of the dead Why do mean old men hold the key When the world could be run by kids like me [Bridge] We’d paint the earth in colors bright Not fear the dark but chase the light No borders drawn no war to fight Just laughter echoing through the night [Chorus] I don’t want to see the sky turn red I don’t want to count the names of the dead Why do mean old men hold the key When the world could be run by kids like me
