You are generation Altlas

balancing the earth,

shouldering one massive burden

so trustful in its worth.

 

The summer's end it's coming soon now

and school 's gonna start again.

Fridays you'll be out on the street then,

protesting for this mess to end.

 

You see there's little chance for you,

so you take it into your own hands.

So good and righteous all your reasons.

You're most dependent on how this ends.

 

Oh, generation Atlas,

I am deeply scared for you.

Will they let you shout and burn out?

Do they really care for you?

 

You've given them their summer break,

dreamed up your plans and strategies.

You're well determined to see change NOW!

I see your hopes brought to their knees.

 

Oh, generation Atlas,

what you're gonna learn from it?

What you're gonna go to sleep with?

That they don't even give a shit?

 

You are generation Atlas

and this is not a school project.

These are big and global players

your courageous hearts attack.

 

Come on people, come and let us

fight ourselves a future back.

Let's not have our children pay for

their good spirit, that we lacked.
