[Verse 1: Roland Dixon, Alyssa Laine, Both]
I don’t buy the lines that they peddle(ah, ah)
And I chipped my tooth on funnel metal(ah, ah)
But I patched myself up and went the other way(ah, ah)
Carried on ‘cause I don’t wanna live in shame
Fallin’ back into the same ‘ole queue
But it’s the worst kind of déjà vu
(ah, ah)
(ah, ah)
[Verse 2: Roland Dixon, Alyssa Laine]
Consumerism is the vandalism of our age (oo, ah)
They sexualize boys and girls and fill em’ full of rage (ah, ah, ah)
Starin’ into their black mirrors (ah, ah)
A thumb army ready to filter, yeah (ah, ah)
I don’t wanna worship beauty (ah, ah)
And I don’t wanna wait for what could be
[Chorus: Roland Dixon & Alyssa Laine, Alyssa Laine & Steve Rutledge]
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa) we are the obscene
(Whoa) exposing the truth
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa, whoa)
[Bridge: Solomon Maxx, Alyssa Laine, Both]
From behind your curtains and years of meat, aw
You stand like parking meters casting shadows on the streets
Let’s take shifts falling in and out of fevered sleep
Pray dear lord my beauty, food, and gasoline to keep, oh
Your perfume and cigarettes
No, they're not not expressions of freedom
(ah, ah)
There will be those who betray us
(There will be those who betray us)
Who wear their rings and drive suburbans
(Who wear their rings and drive suburbans)
No we won’t be oh persuaded
(No we will not be persuaded)
When surrounded, won’t surrender
(When surrounded, we will not surrender)
No I’m not gonna shove my agenda down your throat
(I’m not gonna shove my agenda down your throat)
When you’re ready, come back to the, back to the fight
(When you’re ready to come back, we'll be here)
We’ll be where we’ve always been
(We've always been here)
Pushed to the side in a state of youthful agony, ow
(Pushed to the side in a state of youthful agony)
[Chorus: Roland Dixon & Alyssa Laine, Alyssa Laine & Steve Rutledge, Alyssa Laine]
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa) we are the obscene
(Whoa) exposing the truth (ah, oh-oh)
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa) we are the obscene
(Whoa) exposing the truth (exposing, oh, oh)
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth
(Whoa) we are the obscene
(Whoa) exposing the truth (expose, oh, oh)
(Whoa) we are the makers
(Whoa) we are the youth, yeah
