The leaders of tomorrow
Are growing up today
Totally unsure of these
Foundations, you have laid
Your children wander aimlessly
Through prisons you have made
And for your sins of blind ambition
They will make you pay
And ready or not
Here goes tomorrow
Ready or not
Here goes... the future of our world
And those of you who are not ready
Will get left behind
Ready or not...
Here goes tomorrow
Your children see the air they breathe
Quickly turning brown
But you don't think they notice
As the acid rain comes down
Your children grow up wishing
That their skin were black or white
Because you've taught them to believe
That one was wrong and one was...
And ready or not
Here goes tomorrow
Ready or not
Here goes... the future of our world
And those of you who are not ready
Will get left behind
Ready or not...
Here goes tomorrow
You will remember when
Your children were abused
And you're gonna realize
That it was you who was confused
Someday you will thank
These rebel boys and rebel girls
For having the guts to save
You're dying... world
And ready or not
Here goes tomorrow
Ready or not
Here goes... the future of our world
And those of you who are not ready
Will get left behind
Ready or not...
Here goes tomorrow
