  • We are the nowhere generation
    We are the kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat to the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we've been given
    We speak a language you don't know
    We are the nowhere generation
    The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

    And one day
    All the walls will come down
    All the doors will open
    All the roads will lead home
    But right now
    We are spiraling down
    And the longer we wait
    The further we go

    I know we're slipping through the cracks now
    No place left on your map now to call home

    We are the nowhere generation
    We are the kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat to the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we've been given
    We speak a language you don't know
    We are the nowhere generation
    The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

    And for your sweat, you'll be rewarded
    They told us every day
    There's a land of milk and honey
    And it's not that far away
    But the finish line kept moving
    And the promises wore thin
    And the smoke on the horizon
    Was the burning promised land

    And this place used to be somewhere
    But they sold it out from under us
    Our voices all ignored

    We are the nowhere generation
    We are the kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat to the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we've been given
    We speak a language you don't know
    We are the nowhere generation
    The nowhere generation, oh-whoa

    And yet we climb these burning ladders
    Still we raise for them the hammers
    Swinging low
    "And what exactly are we after?"
    They will ask
    And we will answer

    We are the nowhere generation
    We are the kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat to the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we've been given
    We speak a language you don't know
    We are the nowhere generation
    Oh oh (we are the nowhere generation)
    Oh oh (we are the nowhere generation)
    We are the nowhere generation
    We are the nowhere generation
