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
