[Lyric] The Voice of the Future (Jeremy Swanton, Kyle Reid Hass)

Haley's just a product of our generation
And Haley's got a lot to say
Haley thinks the things he does are monumental
He sure acts like it, anyway
But we are the voice of the future

Haley doesn't ground himself in fact or reason
Doesn't seem so harmful yet
But he's far from guiltless his charade is treason
Betraying what he doesn't get

That when you're the voice of the future
You have to be trained and compliant
You'rе just some irrelevant short hand
Unlеss what you find is important

We all get straight A's and Haley gets detention
Haley's thought are out of line
But everything he says is what we're scared of saying
Haley's doubts are also mine
This can't be the voice of the future
We say what they've trained us to say
I'm feeling like such a disgrace now
I'm feeling like I shouldn't stay here

Is she going crazy
Or thinking more soundly?
I'm unsure if they're the ones who see these things the most profoundly

What it there's another way?
What if I've been missing it?
The truth that never had it's say
All because I'm scared to quit

Just because our teachers say our work is perfect, doesn't mean it ever is
All of your suggestions have been underwhelming
None are half as great as his

And Haley breaks ground with his failures
And I say that's some kind of talent
And Haley is bold and upstanding
And I say that makes him important

This can't be the voice of the future
[Haley's just a product of our generation]
[We were few and far away]
Is she going crazy?
Or thinking more soundly?
We say what they've trained us to say here
[Haley is delusional and has no place here]
[That's all we should have to say]
I'm unsure if they're the ones
Who see these things the most profoundly
We all get straight A's and Haley gets detention
[And when you're the voice of the future]
What it there's another way?
What if I've been missing it?
Haley's thoughts are out of line
Everything he says is what we're scared of saying
[Your mission is far too important]
The truth that never had it's say
All because I'm scared to quit
Haley's doubts are also mine
You talk about the future's voice
Well I can hear my future's voice
You wanna hear the future's voice?
Well I'll give you the future's voice

I quit
