Over and over again

They say...

They do not understand us.

They say we are corrupt.

They say we are undisciplined.

They say we are disrespectful,

Unlike anyone before us.

They say we are impatient.

They say we are ungrateful.

To this, we say to them,

 

We're you not told

When you were younger...

You are corrupt!

You are undisciplined!

You are disrespectful!

Like no one that been before you.

You are impatient!

You are ungrateful!

Did they not say that to you?

Over and over again.
