Music is a powerful force for change.That is why the music
of youth is so often censored, it speaks truths about problems that the
older generation would rather not face. This is a collection of lyrics and poetry that
seem to speak to the youth rights movement. If you any have suggestions or words of your own
please send them to jrussell@wnec.edu

Prisoner of Society by the Living End
Well we don’t need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we’re on our own and there’s nothing you can do
So we don’t need no one like you, to tell us what to do
We don’t refer to the past when showing what we’ve done
Our generation gap means the war is never won
The past is in your head, the futures in our hands
Cos I’m a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
cos I’m not listening
To anything you say
And if you count to 3
You’ll see it’s no emergency
You’ll see I’m not the enemy
Just a Prisoner of Society
