lyrics

They stand there staring like a pale faced choir
Their dreams held back by thieves and liars
Their silent chorus fills the air with fire
Their guts are burning with a holy desire
And we cast aside what they know as youth
And what we shove down their throat some call it truth
The sex, the highs, the money, the lies
This is the life of a nevermind kid

The nevermind kids
We have a voice, we have a voice
The nevermind kids
We have a choice we have a choice
The nevermind kids
We have our own lives to live
The nevermind kids
The nevermind kids

Who are you little kid, you’re still in school
If we listen to you we’d be considered fools
You don’t have a mistress or credit card debt
You’re not a closet drunk and you don’t beat your kids
We know what we’re doing, can’t you see by now
Our bad ideas would work if they weren’t all shot down
By our peers and politicians and the ones who count
So turn that smile on your face upside down

You don’t know nothing so don’t say a word
You’re too young to count your voice won’t be heard
To think about change is just absurd
Your broken traditions well they must be cured
And the strength of the youth will overcome
The world will hear the thunder from your lungs
The old and weak will be forced to choose
To get out of the way or just follow suit

I hear the gears of time starting to grind
I feel a rumble underfoot and it’s just in time
If you don’t have a voice feel free to use mine
We’ll tear the roof off this place and fight the good fight
Cause we are Marching towards the dawning of a brand new day
Where skin color doesn’t matter or the music you play
We’re all here together in unity
So throw a fist in the air and bring the noise today!

A long-time fan of Dogwood. They got me through some tough times as a teenager. Whether it was dealing with my dad who bailed or struggling through the faith, their songs always made me feel like someone else understood. Parepidemos1113

I remember coming across this band back in the MySpace days.. Actually, they came across me. They sent me a friend request, and my life as I know it had changed. I still jam these songs all the time. Really wish these guys would make a return. III
