PAPER TRAILS Lyrics

We are young but we know the truth

The paper trails burn back to you

You need things so you sold my youth

It's a damn good thing we're not like you

Fate is on the rise like tides we cannot hide from

Hate is in their minds, resides with viral outcomes

Some perish, some take, some drown in their own fate

Some make it, but never give back, to the people that gave, a common fact

Everybody's boots are built on someone's back

We're all just taking notes on other people's math

But some of us get rich and some of us stay poor

While claiming we be equal they just wanted it more

We are young but we know the truth

The paper trails burn back to you

You need things so you sold my youth

It's a damn good thing we're not like you

One world

Our planet

One life

Ours

Live it

Activists turn to taxidermy on the walls of congress

Fossil fuels run the rolls in banks we thought were honest -ha

Politicians paid for by the exploited poor and the lobby floor

100 days of paid vacation and every year they vote for more

But legislation to end inflation or to pay for education

Never crosses minds of people who siphon off a nation

We are young but we know the truth

The paper trails burn back to you

You need things so you sold my youth

It's a damn good thing we're not like you

They taking all your money

And building lots of bombs

And harming lots of people

Who never caused you harm

And no one wants to hear you

When you got no cash to give

They'll leave you on the hold line

Representative, representative

We are young but we know the truth

The paper trails burn back to you

You need things so you sold my youth

It's a damn good thing we're not like you
