Butterfly Revolution Lyrics

White Flag Butterfly Revolution

Something that I gotta say
See it as it all comes down
Ending of our child-like dreams
If you don’t believe me look around

Growing old, I just can’t take it
Sometimes I don’t feel alive
Always thought we’d “make it”
Now I wonder if we’ll survive

All you listen is what I say
You never listen to what I mean
Even in our finest hour
Like envy, our revenge is green

Times I wanna run away
Hide myself from what I feel
Growing into what I fear
Lines on my face make me kneel

We all burn out and turn to dust
Or die young as we rule together
If you can’t win - leave your mark
A martyr’s dream can live forever

All you listen is what I say
You never listen to what I mean
Even in our finest hour
Like envy, our revenge is green

Growing old you face the truth
How we spent our wasted youth
Always thought we’d change the nation
Now I see this generation… going no place
Going no place
We’re going no place now

Something that I gotta say
Can’t tell if it’s them or me
Tell me, as I grow old
Do I become the “enemy”?

Watching my dreams turn to dust
Faded lines of rebel’s song
Tell me as we all grow old
Is it true we say the kids are wrong?

All you listen is what I say
You never listen to what I mean
Even in our finest hour
Like envy, our revenge is green

Growing old you face the truth
How we spent our wasted youth
Always thought we’d change the nation
Now I see this generation… going no place
Going no place
We’re going no place now
