Confessions

(and) I was there when the morning came
And the sunlight hit our faces 
We were much too young to know
Sobering up to realise
that we're not the ones our fathers hoped for!

I have always made it clear
I wasn't going to live
for anyone else than me
But you have never thought of me
as the son you hoped that I would be
How can I keep moving
with your sticks in my wheel? 

Guilty as charged!
Who throws the first stone? 
Maybe the one with the biggest heart of stone inside!
 
We are the failing generation
but who are you to judge us
for bringing pain and causing death? 
You are the ones who [bad word] raised us! 
They say the apple doesn't fall far from the cree 
but that's not me! 
I wasn't born to walk in you flawless footsteps 

I'm sorry mother
for the mess that i've created
but i can promise that i'll do 
it all over again
I'm sorry mother
but this burden is mine to carry! 

We are carved into stone
so bury our corpses and bury your pride! 
Let those without no sin
bury our caskets and honor our [bad word] lives! 

(I'm sorry but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls.
We have developed speed
but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made it cynical;
our cleverness is hard and unkind
We think too much and feel too little.
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes;
men who despise and slave you,
tell you what to do, what to think or what to feel.
You are not machines, you are not cattle - you are men! 
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery - fight for liberty.
Let us fight for a new world,
now let us fight to fulfill that promise: let us fight to free the world.
LET US ALL UNITE!)

To all you lost young souls
who has been given a path to run
don't copy the life of your fathers
build your own dreams instead! 
 
To all you lost young souls, 
to all you lost young brothers: 
Dig deep down in your souls,
you are free to scream!!

THE SUN GOES DOWN, 
AGAIN MY FRIEND 
FOR NEW DAY
TO WASH OUR SINS AWAY!

We are the lost young souls
who has been found in the desert
we raise our voices tonight
and sing out this song as our anthem
x2
 
(I am the lost young soul
who has been found in the desert
I'll sing out this song as my anthem)
