Lyrics
HANDS OFF OUR TOMORROWS!
Words and Music / © (all rights reserved) Laurence Conway, 2017
Verse 1:
Feathering your comfy nests
Future for you lot will be the best
Cards are unfairly decked
Substandard lives we can expect
Chorus:
HANDS OFF OUR TOMORROWS!
Do you think - even for a moment - we're not aware you're stealing them off of us?
System's rigged - keeps us down
We're not dumb - nor asleep - we are onto you!
Verse 2:
Daily drown in loads of debts
Just about can feed ourselves and pets
Good jobs - none - bad to worse
Your generation's caused this curse
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
Filled with dread of what's ahead
Our inheritance when you are dead
Be OK - or dirt poor
Seems it's dirt poor we're to endure
Repeat Chorus
