The Last Generation Lyrics

Once we wondered
What we would become
In a bright, bold world we'd all belong

Sixty-eight was a silver lining
Breaking through the crust of time
Only for the dark returning
And we have seen all the signs

How can we look into children´s eyes
What are you leaving for us?
What do we teach if we never learn?
What future?
The fight to be ending all the fights
It never feels right
Can we leave behind this endless night

Friday's children
Show us what it means
To be brave, raise your voice against machines

Warriors carried from the streets
Heroes branded terrorists
Playing futures lottery
And no one's stopping the wheel

How can we look into children´s eyes
What are you leaving for us?
What do we teach if we never learn?
What future?
The fight to be ending all the fights
It never feels right
Can we leave behind this endless night

We are here - it´s our world
We are here - it´s our time

How can we sacrifice
How can we give it up
How can we victimize
The ones to be our future

No more lies
All the hypocrisy
The profit politics
I'm getting sick of it, sick of it

No more songs
Without a voice that counts
There is no time to lose
To let them have a future

One more chance
Is it still in our hands?

And our time is running, time is running faster
Time is running, time is running out for us

How can we look into children´s eyes
What are you leaving for us?
What do we teach if we never learn?
What future?
The fight to be ending all the fights
It never feels right
Can we leave behind this endless night

How can we look into children´s eyes
What are you leaving for us?
What do we teach if we never learn?
What future?
The fight to be ending all the fights
It never feels right
Can we leave behind this endless night

Can we leave behind this endless night
