[Intro]

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up

Pick it up, pick it up

Time to awake - right!

Get up and fight - now!

Fight for mankind - right!

[Verse 1]

Mankind's transgression's against mankind

Have been horrendous and they esculate with time

Manipulated truths and calculated lies

Is why the public can't see the truth before their eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia

The torching of black churches in America

The ethnic cleansing in Rwanda

The desecration of Synagogues

[Chorus]

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

[Verse 2]

You've got the right to protest

You got the right to vote

So who's responsible for changing the advents of our time

Exercise independence

Control your life

All able minds are ordained these civil rights

[Pre-Chorus]

But if you turn a blind eye

You're just as guilty as the culpirits

The innocent are sure to die

So rise up against injustice

[Chorus]

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

[Bridge]

Which generation?

My generation

Which generation?

Your generation

[Breakdown]

Time to awake! (Right!)

Get up and fight! (No!)

Fight for mankind! (Right!)

Live for mankind! (No!)

We have to awake! (Right!)

Get up and fight! (No!)

Fight for mankind! (Right!)

Live for mankind! (No!)

[Trombone solo]

[Bridge]

Which generation?

My generation

Which generation?

Your generation

[Chorus]

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles from all sides

Say next - Next Generation, uh-huh

Pray next - Next Generation, uh-huh

I pray the next will view the angles

[Outro]

Time to awake! (Right!)

Get up and fight! (No!)
