Smoke stacks reach the sky As talk of revolution heats the air On every city street In every state the truth stands all too clear (1,2,3,4!) The kids are sick and tired of the news today Sick and tired of all the lies We want the truth It isn't going to be no paradise It isn't going to be no paradise Forget the claims It isn't going to be no paradise Oh no We need to take the world back now We need to take control right now Promises of a better tomorrow Promises bought on borrowed dollars No disaster ever looked so great So what I say As old men deliver nothing but terror/war We ask ourselves what are we dying for? And so the kids are sick and tired of the news today Sick and tired of all your lies We want the truth It isn't going to be no paradise It isn't going to be no paradise Forget the claims It isn't going to be no paradise Oh no We need to take the world back now We need to take control right now The richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafes Not a worry all their days The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history Is vengeance from those empire enslaves You better hear us now It isn't going to be no paradise It isn't going to be no paradise Forget the claims It isn't going to be no paradise It isn't going to be no paradise Oh no We need to take the world back now We need to take control right now
