Metric - Youth Without Youth lyrics

rate me

Hangman we played rubber soul with a razor blade

Behind the church, hiding place, it was a long joke till

The punch line came. Can you read my mind? Read my mind

Follow along to the end of the song

Hangman we played double dutch with a hand grenade

Behind the church, hiding place. Apathetic to the devil’s

Face. Wear the sheriff’s badge put your toys away

They let us go saying let us pray!

Hangman we played hide and seek on the fire escape

Through the smoke we saw the flame it was a long

Wait til the firetruck came. on the count of three

Jump with me on the count of three

1… 2… 1… 2… 3… GO!!!

Hangman we played blind man’s bluff with the

9th Brigade throw the brick through the windowpane,

Double dutch til they stop the game, till the cops

Show up hand cuff stunned let us go but we

Lost one! Hangman we played blind man’s

Bluff til they stopped the game Youth without

Youth born without time, Youth without

Youth, can you read my mind?
