[Verse 1]
Here comes the one I'm counting on
They think we're only just a pawn
How long until they end their time?
I hear the shouting in the streets where all the corners seem to meet
We fight another hidden crime
[Chorus]
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
Maybe take it all the way
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
But only we wrote the signs
20 generations are an open fire
All we have is written on the floor
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
So tell me what you're waiting for?
[Verse 2]
Her arms are wrapped around the tree
Black leaves are falling in the breeze
They'll never see until it's gone
She cries for help
She has to give the kids a single chance, but now it's counting the day she's on
[Chorus]
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
Maybe take it all the way
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
But only we wrote the signs
20 generations are an open fire
All we have is written on the floor
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
So tell me what you're waiting for?
[Bridge]
The times, they are changing all the while
So why am I saving now?
[Chorus]
The reason 27 kids are gonna speak their minds
Maybe take it all the way
Every single kid is gonna take their fine
But only we wrote the signs
20 generations are an open fire
All we have is written on the floor
27 kids are gonna speak their minds
So tell me what you're waiting for?
Tell me what you're waiting for?
Tell me what you're waiting for?
Tell me what you're waiting for?
