Kids Are Asking

They’re asking ‘bout double standards, kids,
They're asking ‘bout what is fair,
While people in power break all of the rules,
And no one seems to care.

Corporations hold the power high,
No conscience, no check in place,
While leaders make promises they never keep,
Just lies that we have to face.

[Chorus]
And the kids ask:

"Why don’t they pay for their wrongs?
If we can’t lie, then why can they?
Why do they break what’s been promised?
Why should we listen to what they say?”

They’re asking ‘bout the right from wrong, now,
They’re asking what matters most,
Is it truth, or greed, or power games,
And who’s held accountable?

Well, kids, it’s hard to explain this world,
Where honesty isn’t praised,
When promises break like fallen glass,
And fairness gets erased.

[Chorus]
So they’re asking:
“Why don’t they pay for their wrongs?
If we can’t lie, then why can they?
Why do they break what’s been promised?
Why should we listen to what they say?”

‘Cause children see what’s real and true,
They wonder why lies get a pass,
And they’re told to be good, to follow rules,
When others shatter trust like glass.

They’re asking about double standards, kids,
They’re asking for what is fair,
And maybe one day they’ll change this world
To one that’ll actually care.

[Outro]
Yes, maybe one day they’ll change this world
To one that’ll actually care.
