80S Babies

We were about to change the world
But something happened along the way
We have lost the will to rant
And stand by every promise made
How were we supposed to know
That we wouldn't have a chance to learn
How not to repeat the same
Mistakes of yesterday
We did it once
We did it twice
This is far from over

Daisy
We are the eighties
Unwanted babies
That's all we know
Daisy
Now our mind is hazy
Cause we're old and lazy
There's nowhere to go

All the joy is good as dead
Cause nothing here is built to last
There is no way out of this loop
Of low incoming and higher debts
All our hopes and dreams are gone
On the screens of our phones
Political resentment rising from a click away
We did it once
We did it twice
This is far from over

Daisy
We are the eighties
Unwanted babies
That's all we know
Daisy
Now our mind is hazy
Cause we're old and lazy
There's nowhere to go

These are the old times you keep consuming
Gathering dust while the mold keeps growing
Keen to return to a place to thrive
Among the dead ones you feel alive

These are the virtues they took from us
We feel there's nothing left to discuss
We no longer have redeemers
We don't need leaders, we need dreamers

But in the morning you read the news
The same delusion that killed the Jews
Hidden in words of another lie
Spreading like fire and cutting like knives

So drop your nostalgia, and feel you're alive
Gather your loved ones, get up and fight
Change is not distant, it's here tonight
This is far from over
