Remskii - UMURANGI GENERATION Lyrics

There's a million kids
With one foot in the grave
That was there before they even
Stepped out of the womb
Never making it to the age I am now
Where you see cribs and beds
I see an early tomb
Cause there's something coming
I'd say on the horizon
But it's almost overhead
Been looming for so long
I stopped feeling the dread
When the doctors and scientists say
That in thirty years
We'll all be dead
Then I go out and the sky's burning red
Got a weather report
For all the blood that's been shed
Cause mass shootings are the new way
To keep track of time
Count to 686
And you'll know that a year's gone by
Walking to class
See strikes as I pass
Hear people fighting for wages
Not to live but to last
But when people are dying
You just keep dragging your feet
So the students get shot
While you blame the drag queens
As fire turns the sky
The same color as the wall
I realize that we're in
The middle of the fall
We weren't given a future
Just an apocalypses to solve
But I'm here just sitting still
Someone save us from this hell
But can anyone really save us?
And how many care to try?
I raise a glass for the killed and oppressed
Though wine won't wash away
The taste of their deaths
At the hands of those
Meant to serve and protect
Looking for berries to squeeze
While they cover the eye on their vest
Just as dirty are the reapers down in D.C.
Scarlet scythes as they strip our rights
Cause there's no land of the free
For the lovers and freaks
Just the barrel of a gun
For anyone whos brave enough to speak
I dream about that same barrel when I go to bed
Behind it spot the people who want me dead
I don't recognize them
They don't recognize me
But I see their eyes
To them the taking of a life
Is no less than divine
So they blind us
Divide us
And guide us
To the side room
Where the politics and shady shit
Are free to let their beat go on
Where the people that they execute
Won't question where their freedom's gone
Where the papers that they sign
Make their genocide a legal one
Here come the fascists
Hear them pounding at the door
Grandsons and daughters of those
Who fought them in the war
Oh we can't hold out for a hero
To come and save us anymore
Can't afford to just stay still
Oh we won't let it go to hell
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
So scream against the sky
As the stars begin to fall
And you'll find that millions of voices
Are anything but small
Drown out the ring of death
When he starts to make his calls
Don't go gentle to that night
Don't let silence take the song
So rage against extinction
Against the crimson skies of war
Cause its for yourself
And all your children
That we'll all be fighting for
Oh we refuse to pay for crimes
Of all those who came before, no
Oh we won't be
The Umurangi Generation anymore
