100 Years Lyrics by We Are The Union

The Shape of Ska Punk To Come Vol. 2

2021

[VERSE 1]
100 years later and we're still making the same mistakes
A century of failure and we're living in it every day
Afraid of the future, haunted by our past
We had a chance and we let it pass

[Chorus]
‘Cause we’re all so self-self-self-self-centered
We’re all so self-self-self-self-centered yeah

[VERSE 2]
100 years later and wе don’t believe in anything
Wе serve the ones and zeroes till our brains give up and atrophy
Afraid of the future, fucked by our past
Four generations, two pandemics, and not one lesson had

[Chorus]
And we’re all so self-self-self-self-centered
We’re all so self-self-self-self-centered yeah

[POST-Chorus]
A century of failure yeah 100 years later was this always your plan
You’re all so self-self-self-self-centered yeah

[VERSE 3]
The system works just as designed
Back in the 70’s they gutted education
Called in fiscal responsibility
It only made us more ignorant and complacent
The system works exactly as designed

[VERSE 4]
A population of loyal laborers killing time until we die
Now you can be a rock-star without knowing a single chord
And you have to be an adult even when you’re tired and poor
You can be the president from your show on the tv
And you can be an expert when you don’t know anything
Yeah you can be an expert when you don’t know anything
You can be an expert when you don’t know anything
The system works exactly as designed
