Rise Against - Nowhere Generation With Meg Myers Acoustic (Official Lyric Video)

"Nowhere Generation" With Meg Myers

When we released the acoustic version of Nowhere Generation, we found that it really connected with a lot of people. We heard from a lot of unique and beautiful voices and we knew that we needed to add another beautiful, unique voice to this song. Meg was the perfect choice and we are thrilled with how it all turned out. - RA

Lyrics:
We are the Nowhere Generation
We are the kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we’ve been given
We speak a language you don’t know
We are the Nowhere Generation
The Nowhere Generation

One day
All the walls will come down
All the doors will open
All the roads will lead home
But right now
We are spiraling down
And the longer we wait
The further we go

Are we slipping through the cracks now
No place left on your map now to call home?

We are the Nowhere Generation
The kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
We are not the names that we’ve been given
We speak a language you don’t know
We are the Nowhere Generation
The Nowhere Generation

“For your sweat, you’ll be rewarded”
They told us every day
“There’s a land of milk & honey and
it’s not that far away”
But the finish line kept moving
And the promises wore thin
The smoke on the horizon
Was the burning promised land

This place used to be somewhere but they
Sold it out from under us
Our voices all ignored

We are the Nowhere Generation
The kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed
We are not the names that we’ve been given
We speak a language you don’t know
We are the Nowhere Generation
The Nowhere Generation
And yet we climb these burning ladders
Still, we raise for them the hammers
Swinging low
“What exactly are we after?”
They will ask
And we will answer

We are the Nowhere Generation
The kids that no one wants
We are a credible threat
To the rules you set
A cause to be alarmed

We are not the names that we’ve been given
We speak a language you don’t know
We are the Nowhere Generation
The Nowhere Generation

We are the Nowhere Generation.

The fact you guys made a statement of how current times are for our generation, and still keep a sound that inpires nostalgia is just....NEXT LEVEL! Thanks for this! <3

No
I grew up listening to Rise Against and considering them my favourite band for so so long. Now after so many years I randomly found Meg Myers a couple of years ago, started listening to her and thought: "wow, I have changed my taste on music over the year's!!"
And now I see this and I have to check 3 times that I'm seeing properly!!

Best version of this song. Meg Myers has such an amazing powerful voice that completes this song. Wish there was a live concert version of this with Meg.❤️

[Recovery_Station]

Man, this acoustic version with Meg Myers hits even harder then the original one. Good job, Rise Against! 😊

[lifesajoke]

I saw Meg and Rise Against at the same show a few years back.

[killzne_PL]

Tim and Meg singing the chorus sound just like one voice!

[JeremyK]

Absolutly LOVE Meg Myers, been following her since the beginning! Got to meet her on the street, randomly once, I was so star struck!

[richardkeohane]

Meg Myers has one of the best sounds in the industry: she somehow captures all the dirt, grime, and pain of 90s grunge with the clearest voice and production know-how.

What a great choice I did not see coming. Two of the best in the adjacent genres teaming up. Amazing.

[QEin]

Her voice and Tim’s harmonising together sounds amazing. MORE PLEASE!!

[Garythefireman]

Rise Against + Meg Myers = Perfection 🤘🏻✊🏻✌🏻

[jagsqueak]

what is so perfect about this song, is how so many generations from one to the next can understand its lyrics.

[BrasilTrix]

What a masterpiece! I keep coming back for more!

[johanvandewiel]

This Song is Amazon, I cant stop hearing the part with Meg Myers. That voice is incredeble.

[ivy]

Meg Myers! Now here's a collaboration I didn't expect, totally here for it.

[orkanolgun]

This is the right hymn at the right time with lyrics so true and voices which should be heard.

[kevinlynch]

Waking in the morning and turn my computer and open youtube and see the new official video of Nowhere generation made my day
