    Lyrics:
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    We are the kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat
    To the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we’ve been given
    We speak a language you don’t know
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The Nowhere Generation
    One day
    All the walls will come down
    All the doors will open
    All the roads will lead home
    But right now
    We are spiraling down
    And the longer we wait
    The further we go
    Are we slipping through the cracks now
    No place left on your map now to call home?
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat
    To the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we’ve been given
    We speak a language you don’t know
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The Nowhere Generation
    “For your sweat, you’ll be rewarded”
    They told us every day
    “There’s a land of milk & honey and
    it’s not that far away”
    But the finish line kept moving
    And the promises wore thin
    The smoke on the horizon
    Was the burning promised land
    This place used to be somewhere but they
    Sold it out from under us
    Our voices all ignored
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat
    To the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we’ve been given
    We speak a language you don’t know
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The Nowhere Generation
    And yet we climb these burning ladders
    Still, we raise for them the hammers
    Swinging low
    “What exactly are we after?”
    They will ask
    And we will answer
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The kids that no one wants
    We are a credible threat
    To the rules you set
    A cause to be alarmed
    We are not the names that we’ve been given
    We speak a language you don’t know
    We are the Nowhere Generation
    The Nowhere Generation
    We are the Nowhere Generation.

    Rise Against knows what this generation is going through.
    Given almost nothing to work with, yet tasked with saving the world, saying that we'll be rewarded in the end.
    We are the nowhere generation. We aren't going anywhere, so you're stuck with us whether you like it or not.

    This song makes me feel many things. On the one hand, the lyrics remind me that our future is uncertain, that it is not as concrete as we were promised.
    But the melody excites me and gives me hope to get ahead, to go there and make a difference.
    Without a doubt it is a magnificent song, I love it

    The message of this song is pretty clear, the current generation lacks positive direction a lot of times, but that is also because the rules are changed on them constantly and the goalposts always get moved.
    It also means that they need to FIND their direction instead of waiting for someone to point it out, and DEMAND that that direction be respected.

    We are the nowhere generation.
    Nobody cared to teach us how to live, so we lived anyways.
    Nobody cared to teach us, so we taught ourselves and each other.
    Our lives were sold for the comforts of those who had already been practically given the world on a platter soaked in blood and death. And yet we earned our breath.
    Our voices were stolen and our rights hidden, so we found them ourselves and shouted louder.
    Our very world is cracking and crumbling under the weight of our own parents hubris and greed, and yet we fight to rebuild it and protect it with what little we have.
    Nations jealously carve lines wherever they can, and yet we transcended their boundaries.
    We are the nowhere generation, and we will not go quietly.

I'm now 21 and still a bit up and down but a lot better, unfortunately have only seen them live once but when i did they played make it stop and i cried. it was a great concert, a few songs pissed off my sisters super conservative boyfriend too and was fun to see how triggered he got "I thought this was a rock festival whats with this commie punk shit"LMAO. I picked up a wolves hoodie there. eventually plan to get a tat of their logo.

    "It seems we are not completely dissimilar after all. In our hopes, or in our fears."
    "Yes."
    "Well, then, perhaps... one day."
    "One day."

    This song is amazing in every respect. The lyrics are both timely and timeless, the music has just the right energy, and the vocals deliver the message flawlessly. The sad thing is that a child of the 60's can identify with these words as easily as a modern young adult. We've been fighting these same fights my whole life. Race, gender, orientation, basic human dignity, and let's not forget the destruction of our environment. We were supposed to have fixed this mess by now, instead of letting greed win out over compassion, humanity, or plain common sense.

    Rise Against - Nowhere Generation [2021] ·
    ( Intro / 1 ˢᵗ Chorus )
    We are , “ The Nowhere Generation ”
    We are , “ The Kids , that No 1 Wants ”
    We are , a credible threat ,
    to the rules , you set
    A cause , to be alarmed
    We are , not the names ,
    that we've , been given
    We speak a language ,
    you don't know
    We are , “ The Nowhere Generation ”
    “ The Nowhere Generation ”
    Whoa - oh , whoa - oh
    ( Verse 1 )
    & , 1 day
    All the walls , will comе down
    All the doors , will open
    All the roads , will lead home
    But , right now
    We are , spiraling down
    & the longer , we wait
    The further , we go
    ( Pre Chorus 1 )
    I know , we're slipping ,
    through the cracks ,
    now
    No place left , on your map ,
    now ,
    to call home

    “ There's a land , of milk & honey ;

    But the finish line , kept moving
    & the promises , wore thin
    & the smoke , on the horizon
    Was the burning , promised land
    ( Pre Chorus 2 )
    & this place , used to be ,
    somewhere
    But they , sold it out ,
    from under us
    Our voices , all ignored

    Name a generation that wasn't going anywhere. Mine is Gen-X. Solve for the unknown factor. Nope, just kick the can forever and demand everything will work itself out fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

      @alisha hughes soo I dont know if you are just ill informed or what. However, Tim McIlrath even quoted that "I'm always trying to figure out what voice to use in a song. A lot of my songs come from the perspective of a character, they're not always me. In this one, I really wanted to put myself in the listener's perspective ... This song was sort of inspired by a lot of the younger generation telling me about their anxieties, their concerns and worries about the future of the world around them. At first I treated those accounts as, Well, yeah, that's every generation. We're all swimming upstream against the tide, trying to overcome it. But the tide nowadays has been manipulated. It's driven by a lot of external forces, which create things like the rise of the one percent, concentrated wealth, the decay of the middle class, exploding college debt. I realized that a lot of the issues that this generation is facing are new and unique to this generation.
      The sad irony, the kick in the teeth to all of this, is that I feel like "Millennial" became a dirty word. It became a punch line. It became, "Oh these people are entitled and self-absorbed. They don't know how to pick up the phone or run errands." But when you realize what they're faced with, you can see [how] that paralysis might be created. When you grow up in a world where you no longer trust the institutions around you to support you, or if you believe that the ladder to success has been burned away by somebody who used it before you - that affects you psychologically. It affects the way you look at the world. I wanted the song to come from that voice. I started to find real sympathy with these concerns and complaints. It was very much inspired by the people in our front row."
      So this song is written to talk about Millennials, Gen Y and Gen Z. I dont understand why you have to push religion into this song. Which does have very good meaning and does connect very well to the people who it is intended to speak about If you do want to read more about the interview-
