This is the world
In which we were born
We must build
Our own future
Taught we can only live one way
But we imagined more
Society gave us broken homes
And stacked the odds against us
They never did anything for us
So we do it all ourselves
Working towards a common cause
We rejected their culture
Built safer spaces where we can exist
Free from discrimination
To the abandoned buildings
Reclaimed and transformed
You can’t always pick yourself up
That’s what community’s for
Without approval
Against their will
And we’ve built a lasting network
Of friends in every city
Across the whole planet
Working towards a common cause
We rejected their culture
Built our own communities
Outside of their conventions
Creating spaces where we can thrive
And determine our own lives
This is the world
In which we were born
We must build
Our own future
