I'm crying

I'm crying for this generation

I'm crying for the things they've seen

I'm crying for the mutilation

I'm crying for it all..

 

An homeless girl once told me

This wasn't how it should've been

An homeless girl once told me

That shes crying for them all..

 

You want us to shed our skins

You want us to pretend

You want the clarification

That we'll accept the sins..

 

But let me ask you this, friend

Can you sleep at all?

If you want my certification

You're nothing but a doll..

 

I'm crying for this generation

I'm crying for the things they've seen

I'm crying for the mutilation

I'm crying for what they should've been

I'm crying for all the sins that,

We helped to begin,

And if you want my certification

Know that I'm crying for it all

 

They said that the rain will wash it,

Will wash it all,

We said that it will be better,

That we will be whole,

You said that nothing matters,

As long as we fill the hole

I said that nothing matters,

And I'm crying for them all
