AFI - Charles Atlas lyrics

You've seen it all a thousand times
You've heard it all before
You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes
So passé, too many times
But, you're hollow at the core

Two generations pass you by
You think there's nothing left
But look around and you will see
What our world has grown to be
We are the now, not the past

Can't you even try to see
The strength with which we've
Built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be
Able to destroy what it's meant to me

You've never seen the likes of us
We are your novelty
A brand new trend with mass appeal
Don't like the truth, don't like what's real
You're jumping into something
You'll never understand

You think that it's a passing phase
It's our entire life
You revel in rebellious ways
Rebellion that the media made
When you change your channel
We'll smash your TV

Can't you even try to see
The strength with which we've
Built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be
Able to destroy what it's meant to me

Can't you even try to see
The strength with which we've
Built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be
Able to destroy what it's meant to me
