I've seen so many kids over the years
a few years come and go and they disappear
punk rock is not a trend its a $#&@ing life style

yet so many fade out after a while
when you grew up and deserted the scene
found the american nightmare is the american dream

your ideas changes as you matured and grew
the system you despised now controls you


where have you gone?
you faded away


you faded away, now you're gone

so many scream the kids are united

then they grow up and become divided
don't look down on us, cause we won't change like you
who gave you the right to write the rules

work five days a week and you slave nine to five
well half your life you lived a lie
I thought I knew you, man I was fooled

you have gone and let the system trap you
