Youth Is Wasted
Youth is wasted on the young
Is my time in the sun
Really drawing to an end?
Will I just be hung out to dry
Just on my way to die
Never beautiful again
And if I have so much to say
Will they just shut me up?
We won't back down
We'll break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
My worth is not based on my age
I've turned another page
And now I know so much more
I know who I am and what I feel
I'm the one behind the wheel
Ready to face what's next in store
But if I have so much to say
Will they just shut me up
We won't back down
Well break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
So I, will continue this fight
Cuz I have every right
To have my time in the sun
Here I'll stay, and continue each day
Make them hear what I will say
Cuz I will be forever young
Because I have so much to say
And they can't shut me up
We won't back down
We'll break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
Is my time in the sun
Really drawing to an end?
Will I just be hung out to dry
Just on my way to die
Never beautiful again
And if I have so much to say
Will they just shut me up?
We won't back down
We'll break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
My worth is not based on my age
I've turned another page
And now I know so much more
I know who I am and what I feel
I'm the one behind the wheel
Ready to face what's next in store
But if I have so much to say
Will they just shut me up
We won't back down
Well break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
So I, will continue this fight
Cuz I have every right
To have my time in the sun
Here I'll stay, and continue each day
Make them hear what I will say
Cuz I will be forever young
Because I have so much to say
And they can't shut me up
We won't back down
We'll break our chains and run
Make these years
Our time in the sun
And we won't be afraid to use our voice today
Cause youth is wasted on the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
Na na na na
Na na na na the young
