This is an open letter to the future generations Don't do what your daddies did Some were defiant, some lovers, some tyrants But you're standing on the shoulders of giants It's up to you to bring us to some place new It's been said it can't be done Said the war it can't be won We say a lot of things that don't make no sense I try to rip it up and turn it out Find out what it's all about But still can't find no rest This is an open letter to the future generations Don't do what your daddies did Some were defiant, some lovers, some tyrants But you're standing on the shoulders of giants It's up to you to bring us to some place new Takin' Just takin' and takin' Well, where's all this takin' comin' from? To get what you got someone else is losin' a lot Well is that just the way it's just posed to be? What about creating your own destiny? This is an open letter to the future generations Don't do what your daddies did Some were defiant, some lovers, some tyrants But you're standing on the shoulders of giants It's up to you to bring us to some place new
