Youth Lyrics

I remember the first night I came here
I remember the cold outside
I remember their smiling faces
I remember the nursery rhymes
This is what you get boy, this is what you get
Better learn how to run boy
Better learn how to run
And I ooh... ooh... ooh...

I remember a big white bedroom
With a barbed wired angel asleep
I remember a common foot solider
Wallpaper made of dreams
I saw a pale imitation
Of whatever was meant to be
I saw a vague silhouette
Of something that was to be me

And I ooh... ooh... ooh...
I remember a babylon burning boy

I remember a black tounge talking
I remember a dirty smell
I remember silent sundays
I remember the fear I felt
That's why I learned how to smile boy
That's why I learned how to smile
That's why I learned how to smile boy
That's why I learned how to smile
I remember the meat train coming
I saw the chaingangs pass
I remember winners and losers
All wearin' the same mask

ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
I remember a babylon burning boy
I remember a babylon burning boy

Run, run, run, run, you better
Run, run, 'cause the bullet's hard
Run, run, you better run boy
'cause the bullet will hit you hard
Run, run, 'cause the feauture is coming
Run, run, 'cause the feauture is here
Run, run, 'cause the feauture is coming
Run, run, 'cause the feauture is here
And I ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
I remember a babylon burning in hell
I remember a babylon burning in hell

Don't send me no photos of it
Don't sned me no letters no
There's really no need to remind me
There's really no need at all
'Cause nobody knows any answers
No, nobody knows any fact
Everybody's good and evil
Everybody's good and bad

And I ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...
I remember a babylon burning boy...

I remember it as a black mark
I remmeber it clear as mud
I remember the questions I had
And things I never understood
