Lyrics

Wasted youth! Wasted youth! I know that I will never be politically correct And I don't give a damn about my lack of etiquette As far as I'm concerned the world could still be flat And if the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back Who am I? Why am I here? Forget the questions, someone get me another beer What's the meaning of life? What's the meaning of it all? You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl You gotta learn to dance before you learn to crawl So sign up, all you raw recurits Throw away those designer suits You got your wepons cocked, your targets in your sights There's a party raging somewhere in the world You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl You're all enlisted in the armies of the night And I ain't in it for the power And I ain't in it for my health I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all And I sure ain't in it for the wealth But I'm in it 'til it's over and I just can't stop If you want to get it done You gotta do it yourself And I like my music like I like my life Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Wasted youth! Wasted youth! Wasted youth! Wasted youth! They got a file on me and it's a mile long And they say that they got all of the proof That I'm just another case of arrested development I'm just another wasted youth They say that I'm in need of some radical discipline They say I gotta face the truth That I'm just another case of arrested development I'm just another wasted youth They say I'm wild and I'm reckless I should be acting my age I'm an impressionable child in a tulmoultous world And they say I'm at a difficult stage But it seems to me to the contrary Of all the crap they're gonna put on the page That a wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) A wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) A wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) A wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) A wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) A wasted youth is better by far (wasted youth!) Than a wise and productive old age (wasted youth!) Louder, louder, louder, louder Louder, louder, louder, louder, louder! If you want my views of history, then there's something you should know The three men I admire most are Curly, Larry, and Moe Don't worry about the future, sooner or later it's the past If they say the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back If the thrill is gone then it's time to take it back So sign up, all you raw recurits Throw away all those two-bit suits You got your wepons cocked, your targets in your sights There's a party raging somewhere in the world You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl You're all enducted in the army of the night And I ain't in it for the power And I ain't in it for my health I ain't in it for the glory of anything at all And I sure ain't in it for the wealth But I'm in it 'til it's over and I just can't stop If you want to get it done You got to fight for yourself And I like my music like I like my life Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything) Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else Everything louder than everything else (Everything louder, everything louder, everything)
