Life they say ain't easy, life they say ain't fair
When you are at the bottom authorities don't care
They look away like you don't exist
You're just a number, a number on the list

Across the nation there’s kids like you and me
A generation screwed by the authorities
Across the nation, kids like you and me
A generation screwed by the authorities

The high and mighty always put you down
Call you a loser from the day you're born
It will never change, no matter how you try
Always the elbow until the day you die

Across the nation there’s kids like you and me
A generation screwed by the authorities
Across the nation, kids like you and me
A generation screwed by the authorities
