Young Adults and Old Grown Ups

When we were young we were told not to be greedy
When we didn’t immediately ask the kid beside us
That we hardly even knew to have some of our sweets
Repeatedly, repeatedly they thought
We were gonna become good people
Caring people

We´re lost and won’t even try to imagine
How it’s like to lose a brother and a home
It’s an affluence syndrome
Out of sight, out of mind
What happened here?
What happened here?

Out of sight, out of mind
Let’s just leave everyone behind
Pretending we are kind
Let’s keep on until this place is refined
Do you know what you will find?
Do you know what you will find?
Do you know what you will find?

Young adults and old grown ups who taught us
Both in a better time got more time, options
Unhappy, unsaturated people searching what we’ve lost
Repeatedly, repeatedly when it’s at the tip of our nose
We forgot people, other people

We’re lost and would name ourselves good
Because we were nice to our sister in our childhood
Today, we would do anything we could
I, I do, I think we misunderstood
I do think, I do think we misunderstood

Out of sight, out of mind
Let’s just leave everyone behind
Pretending we are kind
I don’t care if you’re nice to your friend or your sister
This is cruel mister
I don’t care if you’re nice to your colleague or your mother
As long as you’re cruel to an unfamiliar other
