You’re afraid of the youth
Armed with nothing but truth
When you put your soul for sale
You told our leaders they should fail
The angel of death keeps coming for the young
You ignored the frogs and locusts
Oh look what you have done
You stink of failure you sad old man
Not everyone owns a mansion
Paid for by the expansion
Of the powers of the cowards
Who bought your soul for a fee
You say you need protection
For your ugly golden calf
We’re not fooled by misdirection
From your morals in the trash
You are a coward you sad old man
Are you brave enough to hear to the youth?
Are you strong enough to accept the truth?
The status quo has got to go
You’re afraid of the truth
That you made Dylan Roof
In your own image
You pine for a scrimmage
To kill your own Travon
And then smugly walk on
You grasp weapons of cowards
Keep the weak in power
You’re ok with some death
Like Lady Macbeth
We call that murder, you weak old man
You use the lord's name
But for cash and in vain
You parrot your false prophets
To protect their false profits
It happened before you know
Two Thousand years ago
You’ll never silence the call
Even if you crucify us all
You’re not a Christian you evil man
Are you brave enough to hear to the youth?
Are you strong enough to accept the truth?
The status quo has got to go
If you really love their life
You’ll quit calling for their strife
But once born they have no worth
You kill children after birth
You're not well regulated
The idea was mutilated
When the NRA coronated
Their puppets in the House.
You’re a hypocrite you sad old man
Are you brave enough to hear to the youth?
Are you strong enough to accept the truth?
The status quo has got to go
