Verse 1 They see us rolling down the hollow street With favored ease and ghosts we can't delete They say we're weird, they say we're strange Say we don't belong, say we always change I see you hiding in the back of class Counting all the seconds watching time go past You got a mask and a loaded pen Writing war notes for the war you'll never win
Pre-Chorus They talk about us like we're some kind of threat Like we're the problem that they can't forget But we're just kids with too much to say In a world that's trying to make us fade away
Chorus They call us monsters, but we're just teenagers With too much anger and too many fears We're not your nightmare, we're not your crime We're just the kids who refuse to lie They call us monsters, but that's the joke We're the ones who never get to vote Teenagers with the world on fire Burning bright in the dead of night
Verse 1 palm-muted guitar returns]You lock your doors and you pull the blinds Say you're scared of what you might find But it's not us, it's what you've made A mirror you can't face, a debt unpaid I see you watching from your window light Wondering if we're gonna burn it all tonight But we're just trying to find a place Where we don't have to hide our face
Pre-Chorus They talk about us like we're some kind of plague Like we're the reason that the world's gone bad But we're just kids with too much to say In a world that's trying to make us fade away
Chorus They call us monsters, but we're just teenagers With too much anger and too many fears We're not your nightmare, we're not your crime We're just the kids who refuse to lie They call us monsters, but that's the joke We're the ones who never get to vote Teenagers with the world on fire Burning bright in the dead of night
Bridge So when you're old and you're looking back At all the kids you tried to quack Remember this, we're still here Still screaming loud, still living clear We're still here We're still here
vocal scream We're still here!
Chorus They call us monsters, but we're just teenagers With too much anger and too many fears We're not your nightmare, we're not your crime We're just the kids who refuse to lie They call us monsters, but that's the joke We're the ones who never get to vote Teenagers with the world on fire Burning bright in the dead of night
