about

Are you ready to work until you die?

lyrics

It ain't as easy being obscene as it once it used to be
With your belt wrapped tight around your arm
it ain't so hard to feel free
But there's no future for the ones who've been buried in the past
'cause they don't know who they are or if their parts been cast
And if they were promised anything well they'd probably have to laugh
'Cause it's almost as bad and it's almost as sad
And it's almost as rad as dying young
This one will always go out to the suicide generation
They have always played their parts to hanging ovations
Supporting roles not withstanding, didn't know it was so demanding

Only the young die good just like you said they could
And it makes no difference to you or me
Only the young die good just like you said they should
And it makes no difference to you or me
Only the young die good just like we knew they would
And it makes no difference to you or me
