Speedy Justice - Hit The Bricks Lyrics

Kids today, Generation Z and Millennials, anyone under 40
They have a different awareness than the rest of us
There's significant differences and there's real reasons why
They find different answers on the internet
Than the news says, so they can't trust the news
They were teenagers or younger during Nine,one,one
Nobody felt safe for a couple of years
The 2008 crash caused distrust that
Hard work could even pay off
It's all gone in a day 2015 gay marriage was made legal,
Making them think of the hundreds of years of abuse and
Incarceration and murder of gay people
They distrust old people's judgments now
Abortion is now illegal in some states, overturning previous legalities
Nobody believes in religion anymore
Pot was made legal
Millions of people suffered in jail over the years
Because of a plant that can grow in the wild
The president now could be a woman or a minority person
But it never happened before
Young people wonder what's wrong with our value system
There's no patriotism left
Health care quadrupled in price
Houses have tripled in price in just Ten years
They don't believe anything can be good anymore
Crisis after crisis
They were teenagers at Nine,one,one, young adults at the 2008 economic crisis
House prices and health care salaries stagnated
As they rebel, the police state rises again, as it always has
Whether or not it's true, they see Trump and his supporters as Nazis
Life should be a joy
It should be an ecstasy, just to be alive, but it's a drag for most of these kids
Phones have taken over much of their consciousness
And nature, the beauty of the world, is lost on them
Hit the bricks, get your kicks, go have some fun while you're still young
There's plenty of time in the future, to get a job as another high-paid executive computer
Hit the bricks, get your kicks, go have some fun while you're still young
And wonder all over creation, yeah, hit the bricks, do it today without hesitation
And I like to sit and think about the way
I like to sit and think about the things I
Like to sit and think about
Don't stop me now, cause I think I'm thinking
Some people think that we can't think on our own
So they gotta think for us in our phones
And the TV set like our brain is gone
And they tell us lies, like socialize, and
Nationalize, and specialize, and racialize
And idolize, and economize
I like to think that when you think of someone, that
That someone thinks of you
So I wrote this song to let you know that I'm thinking of you too
And I like to sit and think about the way
I like to sit and think about the things I
Like to sit and think about
Don't stop me now, cause I think I'm thinking
Hit the bricks, well get your kicks, go have some fun while you're still young
And wonder all over creation, hit the bricks, do it today without hesitation
Hit the bricks, well go get your kicks, and have some fun while you're still young
There's plenty of time in the future to get a job as another high-paid executive computer
Yeah, hit the bricks, well go get your kicks, and have some fun while you're still young
Just hit the bricks
