lyrics

A child wanders wide-eyed into the world
His mind an empty slate
A blank canvas to paint

He sees the world in all its beautiful colour
And all the ghastly mess
And all the terrible mess

And he has questions no one wants him to ask
They say don’t rock the boat
Sit down! Don’t rock the boat!

He wonders why we built our world on money
And could we start again?
Yeah we could start again

Come on young minds
Don’t get lost in their old thoughts
Let our young minds rise above
All the bullshit we’ve been taught
We must stand up
And take the lead
‘Cause no one else is going to
Feel the fire in your soul
Come on young minds take control

And as time moves along he loses his fight
And blends in with the game
And now he’s just the same
As everybody else
But who would blame him for it
It’s not easy
Swimming against the tide
When you’re swimming against the tide

Come on young minds…

Not another broken record
Not another broken record
Not another broken record
Not another broken record
It’s time to move on

Come on young minds…
