Nowhere Generation (Nowhere Sessions) Songtext
von Rise Against

We are the nowhere generation
We are the kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat to the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
We are not the names that we′ve been given
We speak a language you don't know
We are the nowhere generation
The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

One day, all the walls will come down
All the doors will open
All the roads will lead home
But right now, we are spiralling down
And the longer we wait, the further we go

I know we′re slipping through these cracks now
No place left on your map now to call home


We are the nowhere generation
We are the kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat to the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
We are not the names that we've been given
We speak a language you don't know
We are the nowhere generation
The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

"For your sweat, you′ll be rewarded," they told us every day
There′s a land of milk and honey and it's not that far away
But the finish line kept movin′ and the promises wore thin
And the smoke on the horizon was the burning promised land

And this place used to be somewhere
But they sold it out from under us
Our voices all ignored

We are the nowhere generation
We are the kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat to the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
We are not the names that we've been given
We speak a language you don′t know
We are the nowhere generation
The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

And yet we climb these burning ladders
Still, we rise for them the hammers swinging low
What exactly are we after?
They will ask and we will answer


We are the nowhere generation
We are the kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat to the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
And we are not the names that we've been given
We speak a language you don′t know
We are the nowhere generation, oh-whoa, oh-whoa

We are the nowhere generation
We are the nowhere generation
The nowhere generation
