[Verse 1: Mads Langer]
I don't claim to be a wise man
I don't claim to be a saint
But the world is caught on fire
And we gotta do something
We're gonna start a peaceful riot
Put the word out on the street
Nothing's gonna keep us quiet
And we'll be fighting while you sleep
[Chorus: Mads Langer]
You're a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion, a piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin, your ship is going down
But I breathe compassion, and we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now, yeah
[Verse 2: Mads Langer]
Like the children that we're raising
One is fear and one is love
When you feed the one that's hating
It's gonna break the other one
You gotta sin a world of fiction
Mixing lies up with the truth
But we're holding our conviction
We are wise beyond our youth
[Chorus: Mads Langer]
You're a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion, a piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin, your ship is going down
But I breathe compassion, and we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now, the future now, yeah
[Bridge: Oscar Langer Carlsen]
Teacher, teacher, tell me something
Something I don't know
I wonder where I'll go
And when there's no place left to go
All a while I have been watching
Yeah, I've seen you in the news
Show me how to stand for something
And I feel a freedom fighter's shoes, ooh
[Chorus: Mads Langer]
You're a dream assassin, shooting down our hope
And I bleed compassion, a piece you'll never know
You're a dream assassin, your ship is going down
But I breathe compassion, and we're the future
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now
We're the future now, we're the future now, yeah
[Outro: Choir]
We're the future now, we're the future
We're the future now
