The apology we aren't owed.

Everything is ok

The life choked out of him
And the glum smile scratched his face
“sorry we fucked it up so bad”
A legacy left without a trace
Apologies were all he had left in him
This man, this soul, the embodiment of his generation

I’m sorry the art of conversation died
I’m sorry it got replaced with TV’s prime time
I’m sorry for the Disney channel
I’m sorry for the unfunny comedy
I’m sorry entertainment becoming stupification
And I’m sorry for the fake economy

I’m sorry music fell to the money launders
I’m sorry the kids stopped listening started buying
I’m sorry Kurt Cobain died
I’m sorry the angry counter culture went with him
I’m sorry the pissed off youth went underground
And I’m sorry they’re lost never to be found

I’m sorry the teachers forgot all the good they could do
I’m sorry they did what they were told, didn’t listen to you
I’m sorry the schools babysit instead of teach
I’m sorry it’s a gospel of hate that they preach
I’m sorry they teach you all to be so afraid
And I’m sorry they doused the fire, put out the flame

I’m sorry we believed every word they said
I’m sorry we believed the lies we read
I’m sorry we left our brains to rot
I’m sorry alcohol’s legal and weed’s not
I’m sorry we killed our anger with Prozac
And I’m sorry that its gone but it’s not coming back

I’m sorry for the nuclear weapons
I’m sorry for the murder
I’m sorry to all those that died
I’m sorry we didn’t care further
I’m sorry we forget what the past taught
And I’m sorry we remembered how to wage war

I’m sorry for the plague of mediocrity
I’m sorry for the acceptance of inequality
I’m sorry we abandoned peace and love
I’m sorry we took god from our hearts and put it above
I’m sorry for this world I’m leaving you in
And I’m so so sorry I can’t go back and start again
And I spoke to the dying generation
And I spoke to the dying man
And I spoke to my Father
And I took his hand
And I said:

We forgive you
I forgive you
I will change it
We will change it

Everything is really ... okay
