Just like the collapse of the city of Troy,
We can’t say sorry for what we didn’t destroy
One generation carries the baggage of the other,
The rust and sludge of our yesteryears,
//
We do agree we benefit from what you made,
But we have to clean up when you fade,
Don’t lecture us how we had it easy,
Different time, different place, different history,
//
Our struggles are unique and in a different place,
So don’t start calling us a basket case,
While we do thank the hands of your generation,
Why don’t you help us find a solution?
//
Just like the collapse of the city of Troy,
We can’t say sorry for what we didn’t destroy
You left us a world of pollution and fear,
The rust and sludge of our yesteryears,
