I can't stand this for another day
What kind of fool do you think I am?
You sit and stare like you see through me
But you know nothing of the way I live
When you were young, were you just like me?
A grim future but you didn't care
Now, I can tell by the threads on you
You took a turn to stability
But that's okay
'Cause that is you and this is me
It's a dirty world, for me
It's a doubtful world, for me
You can't control my feet
As I dance to the beat
For me, it's a dirty world
For me, it's a doubtful world
For me, it's a time to speak
It's a youth explosion
Do anything that you wanna do
Go anywhere that you wanna go
Don't need permission like the rest of them
If this is loud then you're too old
When you were young, were you just like me?
A grim future but you didn't care
Now, I can tell by the threads on you
You took a turn to stability
But that's okay
'Cause that is you and this is me
It's a dirty world, for me
It's a doubtful world, for me
You can't control my feet
As I dance to the beat
For me, it's a dirty world
For me, it's a doubtful world
For me, it's a time to speak
It's a youth explosion
Now, the radio just ain't the same
And the tube airs nothing for me
So I spend a lot of time in my head
Where at least I know I'm free, youth
For me, it's a dirty world
For me, it's a doubtful world
For me, you can't control my feet
Now, I'm dancing to the beat
For me, it's a dirty world
For me, it's a doubtful world
For me, it's a time to speak
It's a youth explosion
