Because you're young,
Sharp as a knife
You need that buzz
To come alive
Out on the edge,
Out on the town
You ain't got time
To settle down

You're always sure,
You're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen
To anyone
Because you're young

Because you're young,
You're torn between
A world of hate
And a world of dreams
So much to lose,
So much to gain
So much to fight for,
So much to change

You don't look back,
You don't look down
You gotta turn everything around
You live your life
Like a loaded gun
Because you're young

Stop talking back,
Get off the phone
You're late again,
You missed the last bus home
This ain't the way
You wanna live
I know something's got to give

You're always sure,
You're always right
You see it all in black and white
You never listen
To anyone
Because you're young
