Keep coming up empty handed
Our hard work they demanded
Living to pay bills
Paying bills to live
We're on our own and we're still standing
If this is youth I don't want it
Put through the system
Disregarded
Grit our teeth since we started
Our dreams
We must be reminded
We're clocking in and clocking out our minds
Eight hour shifts waste away our lives
Ten minute breaks open up our eyes
To watch our dreams fade and die
We've crawled from the bottom straight to the start
I swear that we'll make it we won't let this fall apart
We're on our own and we don't need you
We're on our own without you
