Young and Dead

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the shows And on the streets Some punks just won't accept You think differently "The way you live It was the wrong way to be" Vegetarian or not Drug-free or drunk There's always somebody Who says you're not punk There's always somebody Who tells you that you're wrong [Pre-Chorus] We bitch about what we see On the daily news But we can't respect Each other's views Now what will we do At the end of our fuse? [Chorus] And now we're young and dead And now we're young and dead [Verse 2] Instead of respecting Our differences in thought We waste time arguing over What's right and what's not And some revert to All the violence they've been taught Opinions vary on "what is punk" And what it does But it's not anything Until we've earned each other's trust And if it never happens It's by the fault of all of us [Pre-Chorus] There's two options Out there for the youth Just two options And we've got to choose: United, we win And divided, we'll lose [Chorus 1] And now we're young and dead And now we're young and dead [Chorus 2] Think about your views The lifestyle that you choose And find out what it means to you Think about your views The lifestyle that you choose And find out what it means to you [Refrain] Go! [Bridge] Some have had a negative outlook On it from the start How can you ignore when something's Coming from the heart? If nothing can unite us And nothing is worth a chance Then why are we all singing What they're telling us we can't? [Pre-Chorus] You've burned any bridge We've come across And you're the reason For the battles we've lost When you fight your war Just don't forget the cost [Chorus 1] And now we're young and dead And now we're young and dead [Chorus 2] Think about your views The lifestyle that you choose And find out what it means to you Think about your views The lifestyle that you choose And find out what it means to you [Outro] Or we're dead
