ANTI-FLAG LYRICS - Confused Youth

"Confused Youth"



She’s always askin' him what he wants to do

How many times does he have to say, he's fucking confused?

He’d run away but there’s nowhere else to run

Why do they try to conform us? we just wanna have fun



We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth



"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up."

They’re so infatuated like growing up is something you shoot up

Some girls my age they want to have a baby

Well I actually don’t wanna get married... they're fucking crazy



We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth



Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them

If we don't act alike, discard and try again

There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual

“Conform” and “stand in line” make sure you fit the mould

It’s alright to grow old, to mature and become wise

Too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance

Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin

It’s time to be serious, think hard but always give in

You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth

Just grow up to be just like me, watch and follow with no doubt

Train children like a dog, try not to get in the way

When I talk you should obey, try not to get in the way

It’s not a war, what are you fighting for?

Life’s not a war, there's no need to conform

We need help but not everyday

No need, no need to use force

We need help but not in every single way

We don't need utter control



"Why don't you go to school? you need to grow up"

Like growing up is something that you just shoot up

All of us, we'd run away, but where would we go?

Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go



We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Wo...oh...oh confused youth
