this song was originally released as the titular track on a wipers album called "youth of america". I highly recommend that you check it out!
lyrics
youth of america
living in the jungle
fighting for survival
with the wrong place to go
youth of america
the wall is all around
the walls are crumbling
tumbling down on you
it is time we rectify this now
we've got to heal it it now
got to heal it now now now
woo
well they attack you from the left side
down the right side
down the middle till you don't know who you are
well stick around cuz you don't really matter
they're tryin' put ya
6 feet under the ground
it is time we rectify this now
we got to feel it now
got to feel it now, now, now
woo
it is time we rectify this now
we've got to heal it now
got to heal it now, now, now
woo
rich
the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer
this place is no existence
i don't want to be born here again
do you want to be born here again?
this place is no existence
living in the jungle
beware the guys in disguise
fighting for survival
living in the jungle fighting for survival
fighting for survival
they attack you from the right side
down the left side
down the middle till you don't know who you are
well stick around cuz you don't really matter
they're tryna put ya six feet under the ground
we've got to heal it now
got to heal it now, now, now
woo
youth of america
youth of america
youth youth youth youth youth youth youth youth youth
