Malay Nanavaty - Tired

I don't understand why kids listen to such angry nonsense
Should we tell him
Yeah, yeah, let's tell him
Well, if you think about it, it kind of makes sense
If you're a young person today, it's harder than ever to secure a future
You either gotta go to school for two decades, have connections, learn to code
Now is everyone gonna do that when it's hard enough to get food on the table right now
Are they just gonna go into a life debt for school
I don't think so.
It just makes me so angry that all of you people are going to hate on the one thing that keeps us from tearing the world all the way down
Wanna burn it all and bring it to the ground
You better go and think about the things that you do to justify the status quo
I gotta go make another way to my own throne, but there you are in my way
No credentials turned away, tired of this living hell, but there's no other way
Now we're here, our temper flaring, teeth are bared, and fist preparing
The old guard won't even look if there ain't shots out here
So now we're singing away all our heat and hate the way that this whole world is made
I'm feeling done. I'm so done. What happened? Where's the fun
It's the fun that's missing, feeling dumb, dismissing all the dreams, perplexing, can't just sleep, I'm texting, so just get out my face
Ah, this hell, it's on repeat, I'm scared, I'm out of steam, and well, there ain't much more to tell
We try to fight our way into the better days, put down our swords and pray as our hope fades away
Well, push on, carry the rage along, and set your soul ablaze, use it to motivate
You gotta find a way to bear all of your pain, heart of the beat it stays, deep in your brain it says
Grind away, use all of fear and pain, to live a better way, better than yesterday
But I don't find a way to set my life up straight, cause I'm tired
Oh, I'm so tired. Tired of this hell. Tired of this hell
My life is a mess, I feel nothing but stress
Drown myself in drugs, alcohol, and casual sex
Just another distraction for my mind to obsess
Is it really a surprise that I'm fucking depressed? Huh? Oh God, when will it end
Off a bridge I just might have to send
How am I to appreciate my time on this earth, where my life possesses almost no net worth
Aren't our kids' lives supposed to be better? Born to suffer their whole lives as debtors
Work, sleep, cry, repeat. It'll never stop until my last heartbeat
Just what am I, am I supposed to do, within a cruel system that is so screwed up
Can't take this anymore, I'm so tired, stuck. Someone please help me, I feel so... fuck
