Lyrics Jon Lajoie - Song For The Students

You tried to make me stay down upon my knees
Tell me that I’m wrong and right is just a dream

Someone has to pay, oh oh oh
The American way
I should just go home

You say I don’t make sense, I don’t know what I need
And what I need is to lose democracy

Someone has to pay, oh oh oh
You are not to blame
I should just go home

But I do not believe you anymore
You’ve been lying to me for way too long
You exist for me, not the other way around

We are not your children, you cannot tell
Us to stay inside, we won’t ever go
You can run but you can’t hide from us all

You shove 78 down my throat and you
You think I will not cough and spit it in your face

We are not afraid, oh oh oh
We will not behave nor will we go home

I do not believe you any more
You’ve been lying to me for way too long
You exist for me, not the other way around

We are not your children, you cannot tell
Us to stay inside, we won’t ever go
You can run but you can’t hide from us all
