Youth Lyrics - Youth - Matisyahu

Some of them come now 

Some of them are running 

Some of them are looking for fun 

Some of them are looking for a way out of confusion 

Some of them don't know what to be 

Some of them don't know where to go 

Some of them just got instincts that something's missing from the show 

Some don't fit society 

Insides are crying low 

Some of them teachers quash the flame before it had a chance to grow 

Some of them embers do glow 

Them charcoal, hushed and low 

Some of them come with the hunger suppressed, not fed 

Them feel a death blow 

Young man, control in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand 

Take a stand 

Fan a fire for the flame of the youth 

Got the freedom to choose 

Better make the right move 

Young man, the power's in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table and make your demand 

You better make the right move 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Storm the halls of vanity 

Focus your energy 

Into a laser beam 

Streaming shattered light 

Unites to pierce between the seams 

And it seems 

The world open peering 

The children see 

Rapid fire for your mind 

Half the truth is just a lie 

They rub me the wrong way 

They say their way or fall behind 

Seventeen disconnect left out 

The concept as to why 

There's a spiritual emptiness 

So the youth them get vexed 

Skip class and get wrecked 

Feel with music and cigarettes 

To fill the hole in their chest! 

Young man, control in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table 

And make your demand 

Take a stand 

Fan the fire for the flame of the youth 

Got the freedom to choose 

You better make the right move 

Young man, the power's in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table 

And make your demand 

You better make the right move 

You got the freedom to choose 

You better make the right move 

You got the freedom to choose 

Young man, control in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table 

And make your demand 

Take a stand 

Fan the fire for the flame of the youth 

Got the freedom to choose 

You better make the right move 

Young man, the power's in your hand 

Slam your fist on the table 

And make your demand 

You better make the right move 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Youth is the engine of the world 

Youth is the engine of the world
