Oh, say can you see
Through intellectual poverty
At your suburban luxuries
From slimy sea to sea
You - your negative attitudes don’t surprise
You - you hide behind a price tag disguise
You - you don’t even realize
That all the change we talk you deny
America’s youth career extermination
U. Suck A.
No use in trying to find my generation
U. Suck A.
Old glories, you know they make good stories
But the 80’s gave begun in the Amera-kingdom
You - you’re there to utilize
You - your numbers are easy to organize
You - you don’t even f*cking recognize
That all the change we talk you deny

We’re from the basement
We’re from underground
We want to break all barriers with our sound
We’re sick and tired of being rejected
But we’re not down, ‘cause we got a direction
Feel boxed in
We feel boxed out
Can’t waste no time
We got to break out
I want to scream
I want to shout
We’re fed up
We’ve had it
We’re from the suburbs
From the streets
From the sixties
You gotta move your feet
We’re sick and tired of being rejected
But we’re not down, ‘cause we got a direction
Feel boxed in
Feel boxed out
Can’t waste no time
We got to break out
I want to scream
I want to shout
We’re fed up
We’ve had it
