Memphis May Fire - My Generation Lyrics






(We are the youth, we are the future!) [x2]

I only sleep to dream about the day
We don't fall in line.
And everyone hears what we have to say
With no question why.
As long as there is breath inside our lungs
We should have a voice.
But we've been pushed aside because we're young and
Left without a choice.

Have they forgotten that? (We are the future!)

My generation is dying to be heard,
Dying to be heard and be understood.
But no one is listening! (No one is listening)

So me and my friends will be the voice for,
will be the voice for the ones you ignore.
And we'll be louder than ever before.
(Can you hear me?)

(We'll fight, fight, fight!)
For the ones without a voice.
(Fight, fight, fight!)
Until they pay attention.
(Fight, fight, fight!)
For the ones without a voice!
(Fight, fight, fight!)
We're gonna make them listen!

(Fight, fight, fight!) [x3]
We're gonna make them listen!

(Fight, fight, fight!) [x3]
We'll fight till they hear us out! [x2]

Have they forgotten that? We are the future!

My generation is dying to be heard,
Dying to be heard and be understood.
But no one is listening! (No one is listening)

So me and my friends will be the voice for,
will be the voice for the ones you ignore.
And we'll be louder than ever before.
(Can you hear me?)

We are the youth, we are the future.
Misunderstood!
We are the youth, we are the future!
We're dying to be heard!

We are the youth, we are the future!
Somebody pay attention!

(We are the youth, we are the future!)
Misunderstood!
(We are the youth, we are the future!)
We're dying to be heard!

What do you expect?
When you leave us empty handed and without respect?!
(Respect, respect)
What do you expect?
When you take away our voice and we have nothing left?!

Have they forgotten that? We are the future!

My generation is dying to be heard,
Dying to be heard and be understood.
But no one is listening! (No one is listening)

So me and my friends will be the voice for,
will be the voice for the ones you ignore.
And we'll be louder than ever before.
(Can you hear me?)

(We are the youth, we are the future!)
(We are the youth!)
Can you hear me?

  17. B.... P....

    A metalwhore band singing about being the future. With pussy pop choruses and plenty of phony-ass metal posing. Have we not seen this in 10000 other metalwhore bands? This is for children and imbeciles.

    B.... P....

    Benfo G nice opinion :)

    B.... P....

    Then... Why are you even listening? You listen to your trashy music, and we'll listen to our trashy music :')

    B.... P....

    Not to mention everyone in this band is pushing 30 singing about them being the youth to a bunch people half their age.

  18. B.... P....

    Is this like Avril Lavigne dressed up as a man? Is this a joke?

    "good song!" *sees lyrics* "Ewwwwwwwwwww"

  30. S.... H....

    How did i never hear from this band..?!?!

  31. M.... L....

    This is amazing. They haven't gone downhill they have only gotten better!!

  32. J.... H....

    I have no damn clue how you people think mmf has deteriorated. Challenger was the first album I heard by them, but I feel like that was where they fell short. Between the hollow and unconditional I can't pick a favorite, Matty's lyrics are second to none, and he's one of the best live vocalists out there. It's my dream to scream this song with Matty, I think it's the best song off of this album. This shit is my anthem. How this is worse than the hollow I'll never understand

  33. N.... L....

    Jake is such a smiley face while he's drumming xD

    N.... L....

    cocaina

  34. L.... ....

    Saw them play this song last year at the IRE tour in Sydney they were pretty good

  35. C.... S....

    Música Do Caralho, Porrada Porra kkkk

  36. I.... ....

    Blessssing M.M.F Ecuador loving JEJEJ saludospara todos quienes conforman la banda Yupaychani Ashtacata Sumajmi taitaDiosca :)

  37. J.... ....

    I agree that the lyrics are pretty lame, but at least the guitar & drum work are still up to par. I've noticed a lot of my favorite bands have seemingly forgotten how to write good riffs these days.

  38. D.... I....

    memphis may fire never change <3

  39. C.... J....

    theres not enough cowbell, sir... but it checks out

    C.... J....

    I think that every time In hear a cowbell "Needs more cowbell!" XD

  40. B.... ....

    I'm sorry but I love all of Memphis May Fire albums and atleast liked all their songs but this is embarrassing... What happen... This is bad

  41. B.... ....

    Seriously think these guys are on their A game even if this is an A- track. I definitely think that both guitarists are great and have amazing songwriting abilities. I think Kellan McGregor is one of my favourite guitarists out there because he plays sort of a Rhythm yet a Lead style of guitar playing...and he does some backup vocals.

    Definitely the style I most identify with

  42. F.... P....

    It's not a great song, but I do love the breakdown. "Yaah" 2:53

  43. H.... B....

    I reckon this shit is awesome maybe it's because it's the first MMF song I've heard but I still reckon it's some good shit

  44. C.... M....

    I'm am atheist and I absolutely adore them.

  45. M.... F....

    I get so tired of people hating on them because they apparently aren't as good as they used to be to some people but I love all of their music and people need to start realizing that it is okay for a band to change their sound around a bit to find out what they like best and for the ones who doesn't like this song it wont be long before they will put out some different songs that sound completely different that you might enjoy. Bands do not have to have to same sound throughout their careers to be considered good.

  46. C.... M....

    How is this generic? It's a broad call for the topics of our generation, mainly of being put down and not listened to by the elder generation. It's a call to rise up and make a difference in this world, and personally, I think musically, one of the most explosive tracks that I've ever heard by them.

  47. J.... ....

    I love the Heavy vocals. It reminds me of the old MMF. Love it. I just hope that their next album won't be as "soft" as Unconditional. I love the album and it's meaningful lyrics, it just isn't as heavy as their others.

  48. L.... ....

    yeah this song sucks some big ole cock

  49. V.... B....

    Jenna is in the music video! #JennasFight

  50. G.... S....

    Love this track...Best song..Keep it up MMF

  51. N.... E....

    your all fucking dumb. There's girl any age dealing with every word he said. your all just to stupid to realize the true beauty he talking about.

  52. R.... ....

    if the lyrics were different it would be great but the instrumental is real good

  53. d.... p....

    The intro sound like death hands os The Amity Affliction

  54. R.... ....

    That looks like the most bored crowd ever lol

  55. D.... N....

    "Dgging a hole that I can't get out of, deeper and deeper blow the surface to find that theres nothing there"
    "Keep me close keep me close, keep my head above water"
    What happened maddy.

  56. C.... K....

    "Fuck the voice of a generation. I just wanna be who I am. No one can change or guide me, I'm content with where I stand"

  57. H.... ....

    God I love Warp Tour!!!!

  58. G.... S....

    la mejor banda que he escuchado

  59. c.... ....

    Fantastic song

  60. M.... ....

    I like how everyone complaining that this doesn't sound like anything from Challenger thinks that it's called The Challenger. ha

  61. M.... S....

    THISS IS SOOO GOOD!! I CRI

  62. C.... 1....

    first of all yeah its not the greatest song but who are you guys to judge they have 3 perfect albums and maybe there is a lack of things to sing about now at least they are trying to keep us fans going and try hard 24/7 for us so how about you cut them some slack writing songs is not easy .....keep it up boys

  63. M.... D....

    Why does asking alexandria and memphis may fire have supposed 'beef'? I have been seeing a lot about that on videos

  64. y.... s....

    Is this the Portland show?

  65. G.... S....

    San link

  66. S.... ....

    OH MY GOSH I AM IN THE VIDEO AND I SAW MY DAD HOLDING ME AND MY COUSIN FROM THE MASH PITS. OMG

  67. H.... P....

    Really, really love MMF but tbh these lyrics are bad.

  68. c.... v....

    okay who could not like this song. it's just all around amazing.

  69. B.... M....

    This song is BOSS. The end.

  70. O.... M....

    Sumerian and this shitty label suck, fuck these bands and their 12 year old fans.

    O.... M....

    this is rise records dumbass xD

    O.... M....

    +William McAlinden clearly you're the "dumbass" because you can't read. Good job you win dumbass of the month and a contender for the year.

    O.... M....

    +Omerus Mortem I agree but Stray From the Path are on sumerian and like .. come on ...

  71. A.... S....

    Which Warped tour date is this?

  72. i.... k....

    what is the name of the album?

  73. J.... L....

    This band is slowly going to shit. Geezus

    J.... L....

    Then don't listen 😒

    J.... L....

    Lyrics are butt, instruments are good

  74. C.... A....

    maybe MMF is starting to get the fire back from challenger ! this is promising!

  75. S.... R....

    I've never actually seen MMF perform... didn't know they only had one vocalist. I mean he looks like a badass and then sounds like Kellin and Vic and other popular sing-through-your-nose singers. But he does the hardcore vocals too, which does fit his image.

  76. f.... ....

    fuck this as a nice song till they fucked up the momentum at like 1:15

    f.... ....

    I agree, I did not like the fight fight fight but the rest was amazing!

  77. F.... /....

    I love MMF but I agree with everyone else in the comments. This is just a generic and boring song for emo 13 year Olds.

    F.... /....

    Who cares, just because you may be older then them makes you ten times cooler? No just makes you sound stupid xD

  78. J.... G....

    I love MMF, but this song so unbelievably generic. I feel like "core" bands are all doing the same thing now a days, not all, but lots of them.

  79. N.... ....

    The moment you find your self in the video.

  80. B.... a....

    New to this band any recommendations ?

  81. S.... ....

    I love you dudes but the lyrics do suck. Yall usually put out some deep shit but this is kinda gay. I'm feeling everything about the song but the words

    S.... ....

    How is this song homosexual? That is impossible! Dude grow up xD

  82. B.... c....

    I was there!!!

  83. F.... ....

    I like it some lyrics are kinda cringy and I hate hearing the "we are the future" parts

    Plus that generation part just reminds me of of mice and men and asking Alexandria... I suppose they are each others influences

    Well the song is still pretty catchy as intended 👍🏼

    F.... ....

    Yes, it's a good song!

  84. C.... ....

    You suck sceenie weiners

  85. C.... ....

    You all die in hell fucking sceenie weiners

  86. L.... ....

    This song reminds me of the song played by Kabbage Boy in the intro to Brutal Legend.  Starts off really heavy, then the singer turns it into a boy band.

  87. S.... ....

    I love you guys so much, favorite band of all time hands down. Keep it up guys

  88. N.... P....

    love this song more then any other.
    check all the geezers complaining about how the song is whiny. All generation has whiners atleast they make music. mmf is awesome

  89. P.... S....

    width..

  90. J.... M....

    Warped Tour is the perfect place for this video

  91. B.... M....

    Instrumentally, this is one of their best releases since Challenger, but lyrically, it's obvious they're trying to appeal to a younger audience which is very disappointing considering there are ways to write about this subject without being so cheesy. Especially since Matty's vocals still sound great! I just hope they get rid of this "We're the voice of a generation!" gimmick soon.

  92. l.... ....

    Very boring

  93. E.... N....

    epic song

  94. S.... M....

    It's funny how I figured that people would be like "oh this is so generic and lame and I've heard it all before" and "this is so cliché ugh"

    But I'm just one of those people that doesn't mind the clichés, because I haven't heard them enough, or maybe just because the clichés are good and I like them.

    Regardless, this seems pretty good!

    Why stop liking a good thing just because it's been done before, if you can help it?

    I like this band and I got what I came here for.

    As a fan of ADTR, I find this band slightly similar musically to them, and this song in particular sounds a lot like one of ADTR's heavier songs.

    Also for me as a Christian this band is awesome because I find the messages uplifting and encouraging and it always makes me happy to find a band that's more or less Christian (the lyricist is I believe) that is the style of music I love.

    Some people are put off by that but oh well. I think many of the messages are something we can all relate to no matter what lifestyle you choose.

    I love it!

    ^-^ Remember, music's supposed to be fun! If you're not having fun, listen to something else!

  95. D.... ....

    Just because it's DIFFERENT from Challenger that does not mean the band has gone down hill, if you don't like them, then piss off? XD

    D.... ....

    think I'll ignore someones opinion who uses XD unironically hahaha

    D.... ....

    Jordan Davies when did I say I gave a fuck about your opinion? Beat it cockwipe

    D.... ....

    you been thinking that reply up for the past two months? @iiTzDex

  96. J.... ....

    I wish they'd release a version with instrumentals only. The instrumentals are eargasmic. c:

  97. k.... j....

    Going to Warped and seeing them was honestly one of the best days of my life. These guys got me into metal and because of them I'll always love it.

  98. C.... H....

    I think these guy should try more "technical" or "prog" music.. I think kellen definitely talented enough to do so but lately I've just been kinda bored of their stuff... I like small sections of this song like the beginning to 0:50... But other than that... Ehh... Not feeling it... But I really think that they should do new progressive stuff.. Just My opinion

  99. Z.... S....

    Booring.

  100. a.... ....

    At what age did you grow out of "Metal"

    a.... ....

    Umm, people are allowed to mix up genres? Don't like it? Simple, don't listen. Stop trying to sound cool, you're just making yourself sound like an idiot.
