Story Behind the Lyrics
“I wrote the lyrics to this song as an apology letter of sorts to my kids and their generation. They’ve really been handed such a raw deal. Blind partisan political allegiance and bigotry have led us to become a spiteful, regressive, embarrassing country/society. Any progress towards equality is met with archaic viewpoints calling for outright bans of entire groups of our population merely asking that they are given an equal chance at existence without the constant threat of harassment. Imagine being a trans kid, figuring out who you are. That’s terrifying in and of itself. But to do that knowing there are elected officials actively demonizing you for being who you were born as? They didn’t ask for this! They deserve better. Couple that with the continued efforts to destroy our planet for corporate gain of land & resources, you’re essentially telling these kids “f*ck you-figure it out”. It’s heartbreaking.
ALL that aside, I believe in these kids. More so than any generation that’s ever walked the face of the earth, I believe in these kids. They’re empathetic. They’re compassionate. They want to tear down the establishments designed to oppressed marginalized groups. They want people’s voices to be heard. They believe in and will fight for equality. The version of this world they’ve been handed is a sh*t one, but they’re capable of changing it. That fills me with immense hope for the future they’re building, despite the broken pieces they’ve been given.” – Wes Allen, Resignation
