Lyrics for Confused Youth
She's always askin' him what he wants to do How many times does he have to say, he's fucking confused? He'd run away, but they're nowhere else to run Why do they try to conform us? We just wanna have fun We gotta fight, fight, fight Fight for our youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up They're so infactuated like growing up is something you shoot up Some girls my age they want to have a baby Some of them just wanna get married, they're fucking crazy We gotta fight, fight, fight Fight for our youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them If we don't act alike discard and try again There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual "Conform" and "Stand in line" make sure you fit the mold It's alright to grow old, to mature and become wise Too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin It's time to be serious, think hard, but always give in You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth Grow up to be just like me watch and follow with no doubt Train children like a dog (whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) Try not to get in the way When I talk you should obey (whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh) Try not to get in the way It's not a war What are you fighting for? Life's not a war There's no need to conform We need help, but not everyday There's no need to, no need to use force We need help, but not in every single way We don't need utter, utter control Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up Like growing up is something that you just shoot up All of us we'd run away, but where would we go? Just loosen your grip on our leash, you don't have to let go We gotta fight, fight, fight Fight for our youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Confused youth
