LYRICS:

You say the young they act so dumb
You give them pills to make them numb
Next thing you know they’re getting stoned
And you punish them ‘cause you say it’s wrong,

Parents fighting every night
The lawyer’s looking for a bite
The son decides to leave his home
And they think he is living like a bum

Your kid got expelled yesterday
Teachers complained he won’t conform
To do the things the right way

It’s a new generation
It’s a new revolution
It’s a new generation against this constitution
It’s a new generation
You and me we’ll start a revolution
Can’t you see we’ll find a new solution
The world is upside down
But we’ll find a way to turn it around

They asked,
What do you wanna do when you grow old?
I wanna change the world
I’ll climb up a rooftop, break the mold
Sing my heart out the truth left untold,

I wanna clean up the mess you left behind,
Paint a new world in your mind
Break down the system you designed
Be a voice of hope for those who are blind,

Don’t gain the world to lose your soul
Wisdom is better than silver and gold,
My words may cause some controversy
But that’s what you get from honesty,

Can’t you see there’s a missing piece?
Or is your head still overseas?

It’s a new generation
It’s a new revolution
It’s a new generation against this constitution
It’s a new generation
You and me we’ll start a revolution
Can’t you see we’ll find new solution
The world is up side down
But we’ll find a way to turn it around



"-what do you wanna do when you grow old?
-I wanna change the world, break the mold, climb up new heights…
- no, no, I don’t think you understand the question..
-I don’t think you understand life."

The world is upside down but we’ll find a way to turn it around

about

Back To Earth image

Back To Earth El Salvador

Sometimes we see the need to rise above our present circumstances... to realize that life is much more than the pain we feel in this moment... that there is beauty all around us, if we will just look for it. When we come back to earth, music is what keeps us going, helps us to process what we experience and enjoy life to its fullest. Our mission here is simple, spread the light. ... more
