Lyrics
Desperate 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.
Life is taking you anywhere
Love on your mind
Heroin in your veins
You live your life like Rock 'n' Roll
Excess is all that you extol
You are young and you are strong
You fuck the next best that comes along
You sell your soul for anything
Now hear all the stupid children sing:
Live fast and die young
We will never be wrong
Live fast and die young
Sweet youth, this is your song
You are proud and you are strong
You fuck the next best that comes along
You sell your soul for anything
Now hear my stupid children sing:
Live fast and die young
We will never be wrong
Live fast and die young
Sweet youth, this is your song
