THE VISION Songtext
von Låpsley

We paint our futures out in class
As if they could be the same kind
They say that you′re the architect
They say it, but it's treason
Truth withheld like twisted spells
You want to call this freedom?

Because I can′t see the data change
And I'm touched without permission
So don't sell me dreams of equality
If you can′t realise the vision


I′m scared of having daughters
And I worry 'bout my friends
I′m scared of walking home
In case my life becomes past tense

I'm a church with no steeple
I′m a compass with no point
And I'm too much for you to handle
′Cause I'm too loud with my voice
But you said
You said when I'm older that the power will shift

Look, I′m 20-something
I′m in my prime fucking years
And I still don't see it
I still don′t see it
