Verse 1:

Everyday the news show me the cracks
The world is burning – bit by bit
Promises made before I could walk
But all I hear is just empty talk

They smile in their suits, signing away,
Like tomorrow’s just a price they don't have to pay —
Lying and smiling with broad grins
Snakeoil salesman – that's what they are.

Chorus:

Today – you can still live free
Today – nothing to fear for you
But what about us?
The ones that come after
Because tomorrow seems darker every day!

We're bound to the mess you leave behind —
Fifty years down the line, will you even cross my mind?

Verse 2:

They call us angry, lost, naïve —
Sure we are when it gets hard to breathe!
Getting told when we're patient everything'll be good
But the only thing we see is the cracks in the world
And more and more burning wood.

We're not to young to understand —
You just don't care and forgot what it's like to take a stand

Chorus:

Today – you can still live free
Today – nothing to fear for you
But what about us?
The ones that come after
Because tomorrow seems darker every day!

We're bound to the mess you leave behind —
Fifty years down the line, will you even cross my mind?

Bridge:

Maybe it's not that they can't see —
Maybe it's easier to pretend they're free.
Decades of comfort carved in stone,
You never learn to share when you've only ever known —
A world built to be your own.

Final Chorus:

Tomorrow - When you're gone
Tomorrow - What will be left?
Dust and shards for the rest!

We have to still live with all your mess
Your ignorance brings only doom and stress
When we're still here but you're long gone
No good memories of you — for anyone!
