Don't ask about our problems; we don't know ourselves,
We crave success and pleasure, materialistic cells,
Send us off the school, but make sure that we don't pray,
Drugs and sex, and violence: teenage passion play.

We are twisted, we are rotten,
No sixteens answers, please,
We are handsome, we are modern,
Got a terminal social disease.

Defective youth, defective youth,
Defective youth, why won't you listen'
Defective youth, defective youth,
Defective youth, why won't you listen'

Please don't analyse me; I'm gone beyond recall,
Rule books, revolutions, don't mean that much at all,
What's good for me is good; there's only self and void,
Indifferent adolescent, teenage android.

Defective youth, defective youth,
Defective youth, why won't you listen'

My heart is at the North Pole, need moral antifreeze,
Church people pushing answers; you want me on my knees,
You say he's the solution, you tell me you got love,
I say you gotta prove it when push comes to shove.

Don't ask about our problems; we don't know ourselves,
We crave success and pleasure, materialistic cells,
Send us off the school, but make sure that we don't pray,
Drugs and sex, and violence: teenage passion play.

We are twisted, we are rotten,
No sixteens answers, please,
We are handsome, we are modern,
Got a terminal social disease.

Defective youth, defective youth,
Defective youth, why won't you listen'
Defective youth, defective youth,
Defective youth, why won't you listen'
Why won't you listen'
Why won't you listen'
