looking for a yes

Victory in fields of green we slipped away unseen
motorcycle run, drone of a blue sky
Young in love kind of high, front porch romance
Kissed me at sundown the sun in your eyes
I held onto you, last year of innocence
We were 17, life didn't make sense
Living in this world, just looking for a yes

Soon they'd force us to follow their rules
We'd have to fit in the mold they laid out for us
We wouldn't get a choice
We'd try to break the monotony of that structured
mold, set free the beautiful lost
We will be a lost cause

They'll write these laws
Our heart won't get a say
Free will has been objected and rejected
So long yesterday
They'll play God, hide their own sin
Big brother's watching us, we can't win

No where to hide or start over again
They'll destroy everything we thought we
could have been
Looking for a yes, but then again

We are the fire, they'll fan the flames
Put us in boxes in lines made of shame
They will hate what they don't 
understand
Throw another stone at the resistance of the preplan

We won't remember being happy
We'll wear black, turn our back
on doors chose for us
Can't make us forget who
and how to love
Still we'll be looking for a yes
