#SkinnyJeans “Don’t Grow Older Wishing You’d Said Your Piece!”

I wrote this song in response to all the terrible injustices that I continue see in the news everyday. My parents grew up in the 60’s and fought to help make this world better, but now over 50 years later, my generation is still out in the streets fighting for the same things. This song speaks to the mistreatment of people of color and our governments inability to effect meaningful reform. It talks about climate change and the fact that so many politicians continue to deny the science behind it. More so, the song speaks to the incredible resiliency of this generation of young people. We will not stop until we manifest the world that we want to see.

LYRICS:
I see it in the headlines every week
Got another young lover dead on the street
And as his mother breaks down
There’s nothing I can do or say
The politician sends his thoughts and prayers
He’s got a razor sharp tongue, but does he really care
Now I’m waking up tired
When I read that nothing’s changed

We’re all soldiers
Marching endlessly
In long hair and skinny jeans
Young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we want to see
In long hair and skinny jeans

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Strangers in a town that I’ve never seen
Watch their homes burn down in catastrophe
And I’m looking for a star
But this ain’t no movie screen
The scientists’ words won’t be believed
Got so many deniers stealing truth like thieves
And as the rain pours down
I’m praying they get washed away

We’re all soldiers
Marching endlessly
In long hair and skinny jeans
Young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we want to see
In long hair and skinny jeans

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

Don’t grow older
Wishing you’d said your piece
That won’t happen to me
We’re still young and fearless
Repeating history
For the world that we wanna see
In long hair and skinny jeans
