A New Tomorrow
Screeching Weasel · Anthem For A New Tomorrow [1993]
We don't need colleges to validate our lives anymore
We don't need twelve steps to show us how weak we've become anymore
We don't need to buy into a system that offers empty promises anymore
We don't need protection against anything anybody might say
We know that government can't improve out lives anyway
We don't need to drug ourselves anymore to keep the boredom away
We don't anything except relying on ourselves for a change
I can see a new tomorrow
Now
