Lyrics
The Youth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is a call to arms
To live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets
With love or light or heat, whatever
Lock the parents out
Cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands, make it rain
The stars will rise again
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
In a couple of years
Tides have turned from boos to cheers
And in spite of the weather
We can learn to make it together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth are starting to change, are you
Starting to change, are you?
Together, together, together, together
Together, together, together
The youth
The youth
