Gen X Rising (PsychoFunk Phonkwave Mutation)

[Verse 1] We been patient, baby Held that line so long Watched the old hands falter Watched the whole thing go wrong Grandma's rules, daddy's scars Still hanging in the air But the kids are asking why And Gen X is right there [Pre-Chorus] We ain't here to burn it down We came to set it straight Been waiting in the hallway Now we kick that gate Too much dark got in the room Too much fear got fed We can turn this table over We can raise it up instead [Chorus] Gen X rising, Gen X rising Time is on our side Gen X rising, Gen X rising We draw a brighter line All our people, all our people Every face under the sun Put hate in the grave now Cover it up for good, for good [Verse 2] Human hearts are born clean Then somebody marks 'em wrong Teaches kids to fear the neighbor And calls that lesson strong But we know better, baby We know where it breaks What was handed down in anger We can unlearn and change [Pre-Chorus] We ain't here to burn it down We came to set it straight Been waiting in the hallway Now we kick that gate Too much dark got in the room Too much fear got fed We can turn this table over We can raise it up instead [Chorus] Gen X rising, Gen X rising Time is on our side Gen X rising, Gen X rising We draw a brighter line All our people, all our people Every face under the sun Put hate in the grave now Cover it up for good, for good [Bridge] Break the chain Name the lie Let the old fear die Black and brown, white and gold Every soul gets the sky We don't wait for someday We take it here and now Hands together, hearts awake Watch us show them how [Chorus] Gen X rising, Gen X rising Time is on our side Gen X rising, Gen X rising We draw a brighter line All our people, all our people Every face under the sun Put hate in the grave now Cover it up for good, for good [Outro] Cover it up for good Cover it up for good Gen X rising Gen X rising
