Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag wavin' never meant the same,
the kids of tomorrow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday. (2x)

Well I've never seen us act like this,
our only hope is the minds of kids,
and they'll show us a thing or two.

Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
It's only time before they tighten the noose,
and then the hunt will be on for you.


we dont need them

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
the red flag wavin' never meant the same,
the kids of tomorrow don't need today,
when they live in the sins of yesterday. (2x)

Like a smallest bee packs a sting,
like a pawn checkmates a king,
we'll attack at the crack of dawn.

Build a ladder if there's a wall,
don't be afraid to slip and fall,
speak for yourself or they'll speak for you.

we dont need them

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
the red flag wavin never meant the same,
the kids of tomorrow don't need today,
when they live in the sins of yesterday. (2x)


Like a fire,
don't need water,
like a jury,
needs a liar,
like a riot,
don't need order,
like a madman,
needs a martyr.

We don't need them.(x4)


Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
the red flag wavin' never meant the same,
the kids of tomorrow don't need today,
when they live in the sins of yesterday. (2x)

(we don't need them - echoes through out the next stanza)

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
the red flag waving never meant the same
the kids of tomorrow don't need today
when they live in the sins of yesterday (2x with We don't need them)

We don't need them
