Youth Is Wasted on the Young Lyrics

We got hopes and aspirations
We put weight on shoulders young
The dreams of our tomorrow
They smell foul like Devil's tongue

You got plans to change the method
You got plans to break the spell
Consorting with the Snake God
And the ghouls break loose from Hell

Youth is wasted on the young
You've been all so very cleaver
Youth is wasted on the young
Cheating Death to live forever
Youth is wasted on the young
Is the end of your endeavor
Youth is wasted on the young

I can tell you're Dr. Jekyll
Who's been hiding Mr. Hyde
You made fountains full of virgins
Now all Hell is open wide

Youth is wasted on the young
You've been all so very cleaver
Youth is wasted on the young
Cheating Death to live forever
Youth is wasted on the young
Is the end of your endeavor
Youth is wasted on the young

You got plans to change the method
You got plans to break the spell
Consorting with the Snake God
And the ghouls break loose from Hell

Youth is wasted on the young
You've been all so very cleaver
Youth is wasted on the young
Cheating Death to live forever
Youth is wasted on the young
Is the end of your endeavor
Youth is wasted on the young
