Kids from Yesterday : an Oratory by Gerard Way

Well now, this could be the last of all the rides we take

So hold on tight, and don’t look back

We don’t care about the message

or the rules they make

I’ll find you when the sun goes black

and you only live forever in the lights you make

when we were young

we used to say

That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break

Now we are the kids from yesterday

All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate

They only care if you can bleed

Does the television make you make you feel the pills you ate

Or every person that you need to be

‘Cause you only live forever in the lights you make

When we were young

We used to say

that you only hear the music when your heart begins to break

Now we are the kids from yesterday

*    *    *    *    *    *

Today

Today

We are the kids from yesterday

Today

Here we are and we won’t stop breathing

Yell it out ’til your heart stops beating

We are the kids from yesterday

Today

‘Cause you only live forever in the lights you make

When we were young

We used to say

That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break

now we are the kids from yesterday

We are the kids from yesterday
