Lyrics
Say a prayer for the teenage wasted, the children born in sorrow
Say a prayer for the ones who come after, the children of tomorrow
Say a prayer for a generation of MTV?s construction

Got no use for the men in power, we?re sorry that we tried you
Mister President, won?t you come clean
Before we cut the power to your White House machine?
Are you with me now?
