"Charles Atlas" lyrics - AFI

You've seen it all a thousand times, you've heard it all before
You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes
So passe, too many times, but you're hollow at the core
Two generations past you by
You think there's nothing left
But look around and you will see what our world has grown to be
We are the now, not the past

Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me

You've never seen the likes of us
We are your novelty
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don't like the truth, don't like what's real
You're jumping into something you'll never understand
You think that it's a passing phase
It's our entire life
You revel in rebellious ways, rebellion that the media made
When you change your channel, we'll smash your T.V

Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me
Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've built ourselves to be?
I know that you will never be able to destroy what it's meant to me!
