Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

this kid did a ok this kid just cannot wait
this kid he stayed up late this kid is wide awake
he turned off all the lights never gonna hesitate
he's ready to ignite
say he just cant relate

to the children
of the struggle
your resolution
is revolution today
we are millions
we the people
we are the future
so make it happen today
this kid got game for days, this kid he came to play
don't stop, not giving up, gonna take it all the way
tick tock eyes on the clock, wonder why he's wasting time
already set his sights
you cant change his mind

to the children
of the struggle
your resolution
is revolution today
we are millions
we the people




we are the future
so make it happen today

I just happened to find this band on the recommended after watching a 'The Gizzard And The Wizard Lizard' song and I have to admit. This might be one of my favorite bands currently. But along with that, comes a sense of surprise from seeing it only has 15k views, it needs WAY more recognition.
