“We're innocent, but the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent, but the battles left us are far from over
We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies and ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become too overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still, our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we, and never wonder why”
