Here’s a song inspired by your concept with a punk rock vibe, blending urgency and rebellion

“Not for the Kids”

(Verse 1)

You say it’s for the kids, but that’s a lie,

Got your hands in the jar, don’t even try.

Candy’s gone before they even know,

You take it all before it starts to grow.

(Chorus)

No! No! Seriously, no!

What did you do for the kids? No! No!

Nothing for them, all for you,

Soft targets, easy, nothing new.

Nada! Nope! Don’t think so!

All you wanted was the show.

(Verse 2)

A legacy you claim, but who’s it for?

Build your castles while you shut the door.

You grab the spoils before they see the game,

Use their futures just to build your name.

(Chorus)

No! No! Seriously, no!

What did you do for the kids? No! No!

Taking candy before it’s even sweet,

Forgetting the ground beneath their feet.

Nada! Nope! Don’t even lie,

Your truth is just a thin disguise.

(Bridge)

They’re soft targets, candy in hand,

You take it quick, you make your stand.

Before they know what they could be,

You rob them blind, it’s plain to see.

(Chorus)

No! No! Seriously, no!

What did you do for the kids? No! No!

Nada! Nope! Don’t think so!

Your legacy is just a shadow show.

Targets marked before they grow,

All you did was steal the glow.

(Outro)

So tell me now, what’s your truth?

Did you ever stand for the youth?

Or was it all a trick, a game to play,

Taking candy before they see the day.

Let me know if you want to adjust any parts or try a different style.
