Be Young

We were born astride the grave, it was too late yesterday

We tried to do our ministry, got kicked right off the stage

To rise up in the face of the whole human disgrace

All the souls in all their soil, boiling up in oil

Is anybody out there? Does anybody care?

It's to hell in a handcart, we'll meet you there

Stand up or shut up

Rise up or give up

Get up, stand up, are you coming out tonight?

Oh, be young, fall in love

Oh, be young, fall in love

This lyrical tautology, freedom and democracy

Enslavement and autocracy, the planet still will rot, you see

Music and mythology, fire gods, astrology

Autoeroticology, are you coming out tonight?

Oh, be young, fall in love

Oh, be young, fall in love

Wandering away, there's no wandering away

Sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la

From total and utter annihilation

Sha-la, la, sha-la-ah

You're wondering away when you're one degree away

Sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la, sha-la, la

From total and utter fucking annihilation

Sha-la, la, sha-la-ah

Oh, be young, fall in love

Oh, be young, fall in love
