Song | Teenagers, Kick Our Butts |
Artist | Dar Williams |
Album | End Of The Summer |
作词 : Williams | |
when i grew up, well it felt great | |
I watched how others took their fate | |
Some felt afraid and undefended, so they got mean | |
And they pretended what they knew made them belong more than you. | |
I'm sure you know there's lots to learn | |
But that's not your fault, that's just your turn, yeah, yeah | |
Teenagers, kick our butts, tell us what the future will bring | |
Teenagers look at us, we have not solved everything | |
We drink and smoke to numb our pain | |
We read junk novels on the plane | |
We use authority for show so we can be a little smarter | |
We still can grow, and many do | |
It's when we stop we can't reach you | |
We feel the loss, you feel the blame | |
We're scared to lose, don't be the same, hey hey | |
Teenagers, kick our butts, tell us what the future will bring | |
Teenagers, look at us, we have not solved everything | |
The hometown brought its hero in | |
To speak at the high school gym | |
He took a breath, he took a chance | |
He strode up in his leather pants | |
And said, "gee, thanks... but | |
I'm here today because i fought for what i felt and what i thought | |
They put me down they, were just wrong | |
And now it's they who don't belong, oh, oh | |
Teenagers, kick our butts, tell us what the future will bring | |
Teenagers look at us, we have not solved everything | |
And when the media tries to act your age | |
Don't be seduced, they're full of rage | |
Find your voice, do what it takes | |
Make sure you make lots of mistakes | |
And find the future that redeems | |
Give us hell, give us dreams | |
And grow and grow and grow | |
And someday when some teenagers come to kick your butts | |
Well then like i do try to | |
Love | |
Kick our butts | |
Love | |
Kick our butts | |
Oh i love | |
Kick our butts |
