The Youth Die Young

Somehow you seem to have it wrong You're frozen in one spot Your time has come, and now it's gone So step out of your box Somehow you seem to have it wrong You're frozen in one spot Your time has come, and now it's gone So step out of your box My old man once told me "The youth die young And everything's burning beneath the sun Like money, family, sanity and love," I learned fast watching that grown man run Some only become what they come from But I wanna be someone I want to see I won Every day I work hard, some nights it eats me Hardly anything that you love comes easy Never trust a man who can hand you the world (The) same world turns around just to f**k your girl I can't even trust my hands when it comes to a pearl So keep it close to your body I'll give it a whirl And it's true that people do what they can do If it wasn't, then you would have done it when you wanted to When you say there's something new It's already been done I guess the age has come When the youth die young We die young And we go numb Oh the world eats its young And we die young Somehow you seem to have it wrong You're frozen in one spot Your time has come, and now it's gone So step out of your box Somehow you seem to have it wrong You're frozen in one spot Your time has come, and now it's gone So step out of your box We die young And we go numb Oh the world eats its young And we die young We kids these days do some crazy s**t Ain't no such thing as Hell when you're raised in it Mums and Pops never ever prayed for this We (are) living in their world, but we're saving it See, we're the same kids; we don't take no s**t We payed our dues and then scraped to live The dreams go fast, cause we're chasing quick It oughta make you think; that's amazing shhhh... Another late night [?] You can keep your mouth shut with an open lip You can lose yourself or get frozen stiff And I cross my heart cause I hope to live And if the thrill of the life is getting over it Then I'll run the rat racing pole positi(on) It shouldn't make sense cause I'm a golden kid And the youth die young and it's over quick We die young And we go numb Oh, the world eats its young And we die young You... You only live once You only live once You only live once Once... Lyrics by Magonzo Marigotto Fippins
