There was hate in your heart before you were born
and a gun in your hand that was put there
Hate your neighbor, it's tradition in your land
And fight as your father did before you
Fight as your father did before you

Leave me alone
let me think for myself
I don't feel the way you want me to
I'm the new generation
don't want to live in the past
Don't want to kill anyone, anymore
Don't want to kill anyone, anymore

Listen to me son
you're confused by your youth
your country needs somebody like you
Hatred and pain
we must suffer before we gain
So take a gun, go march with your brother
Take up a gun, go march with your brother

Leave me alone
let me think for myself
I don't feel the way you want me to
I'm the new generation
don't want to live in the past
Don't want to kill anyone, anymore
Don't want to kill anyone, anymore
