The youth of our nation, Modern civilization Young people dying in every city Reflections of their own self pity. It's sickening... Friends selling each other deadly drugs Pillheads roaming around giving fake hugs Cokeheads blowing out their mind Potheads in search of their next find Tweekers wigging out for no reason Junkies living in the same dark season Crackheads stealing even a cent Addicts never paying rent Mothers giving up their kids Selling them like an auction for the highest bids People ******* for their next fix Prostitutes on every corner turning tricks Next thing you know, It's almost the end of the show. You are broke, homeless, and full of disease Can't wake, can't sleep, only cough and wheeze Your body is aching While family and friends' hearts are breaking. All this wasted youth, for what,... another high Just to get you by Yet another day, Should you live this way You will next be seen six feet deep Forever is your place to sleep. It's just sickening... All this wasted youth. WAKE UP!

Youth of Our Nation
The youth of our nation, Modern civilization Young people dying in every city Reflections of their own self pity. It's sickening... Friends selling each other deadly drugs Pillheads roaming around giving fake hugs Cokeheads blowing out their mind Potheads in search of their next find Tweekers wigging out for no reason Junkies living in the same dark season Crackheads stealing even a cent Addicts never paying rent Mothers giving up their kids Selling them like an auction for the highest bids People ******* for their next fix Prostitutes on every corner turning tricks Next thing you know, It's almost the end of the show. You are broke, homeless, and full of disease Can't wake, can't sleep, only cough and wheeze Your body is aching While family and friends' hearts are breaking. All this wasted youth, for what,... another high Just to get you by Yet another day, Should you live this way You will next be seen six feet deep Forever is your place to sleep. It's just sickening... All this wasted youth. WAKE UP!
Seems like every other day, another beautiful soul is taken from our lives, due to the over powerful battle of drugs.  It's no fun experiencing the defeat of these killing substances.  You either fall rock bottom and rise up, or you will be buried below.
