"Time stops for no one and I see it first hand
Already twenty-three and barely realizing my plan
I can remember my childhood but only in parts
Sometimes wishin' I could go back to where it all starts
Where the only worry was how I would score
Nah, not the drugs but in sports, I was raised to aim for much more
Always seein' the junkies in the corner askin' for change
Now I find myself doin' the same
I'm not talking about money but in the social aspect
Lookin' towards the future not knowing what to expect
Economy in ruins, unemployment at a high
CEO's gettin' richer, and the poor? Well you know how it goes
When will it all get better? Nobody knows
It's left up to us to fix what our previous generations couldn't
Sad to say but it's up to the kids to fix what their parents wouldn't
We're supposed to be left better off than they were
But even they don't know where they stand
Most will be living off of social security but that's not nearly enough
Leaving their later years to be more than rough
This is why we need to find the solution to our problems
That way our children's children won't have to be left to solve 'em
Living like you're supposed to with a smile on your face
Gettin ready to make a change and make this world a better place."
