lyrics
I want to yell
I want to scream
At disembodied heads on my tv screen
I look outside
It's sunny but it's bleak
I don't know if I can make it
through another week
I want to fight
I want to run
I want to get away
while we're both still young
I don't know
Where there is to go
But I cannot close my eyes
And just stay home
I have no hope
For the end of war
I cannot cope with this
World anymore
I have no idea
What I can do
But I know it's time for us
To build something new
So I'm gonna yell
And I'm going to scream
I'm gonna make sure as hell
That they hear me
