State Of the Nation

"Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight.
The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight.
Now some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight.
I said, some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight.

So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young, well
I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your
arms
folded
tight?"

Arcade Fire, "Month of May"
