​youth of the young (b-side)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The youth of the young is wasted Wasted on the eager to fall Wasted on the years where your fears are your peers On the ones with no wisdom at all The wealth of the wealthy is wasted Wasted on your greedy eyes When the difference is between what you want and you need Is a line you never choose to find [Pre-Chorus] It goes on and on and on and on and on It goes on and on and on and on and on, yeah [Chorus] There's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the wrong feels right, yeah Where the light gets overthrown It's a crisis of our own devices There's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the dark feels light, yeah Where the truth is overgrown It's a crisis of our own devices [Verse 2] The folly of the fool is wasted Wasted on your royal crown No matter how much stuff, enough is never enough Like giving a water to a man who's drownin' The wisdom of the wise is wasted Wasted on your failin' sight The loudest voice in the fog sounds like a wounded dog That the wise are hesitant to fight [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, it goes on and on and on and on and on (Mm) It goes on and on and on and on and on (Hey!) [Chorus] 'Cause there's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the wrong feels right, yeah Where the light gets overthrown It's a crisis of our own devices There's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the dark feels light, yeah Where the truth is overgrown It's a crisis of our own devices [Bridge] Try to prove me wrong Can you prove me wrong? Or do you just sing it alone Hey! [Chorus] There's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the wrong feels right, yeah Where the light gets overthrown It's a crisis of our own devices, yeah! There's a crack in the sky, yeah Where the dark feels light, yeah Where the truth is overgrown It's a crisis of our own devices
