Un-shield my eyes so I can see
I’ve just been told what to believe
Been raised on Coffee and TV
It’s been years since I’ve been able to breathe

Son you’re much too young
To think your life is done
You think you’ve had enough
But son your time’s not up

It feels like I’m being torn apart by two different worlds
And I listen attentively but I’m not too sure
Seem that there’s more to this din of existence ‘cause this is getting old

Son you’re much too young
To think your life is done
You think you’ve had enough
But son your time’s not up

I’ve lost my mind
I throw fits to pass the time
Ignorance it not a crime
I’m just desensitized

Don’t give in (I’m numb), Don’t give in (I’m numb)
Yeah we can speak with our throats, but can we speak with our minds?
I’m just biding my time, ‘cause I’m just here for the ride
This is moral suicide
It only happens all the time

Son you’re much too young
To think your life is done
You think you’ve had enough
But son your time’s not up
