Now that everybody's here
Could we please have your attention?
There is nothing left to fear
No now that bigfoot is captured
But are the children really right
Alright alright
There is danger in the night
There are things we can't control but
Will we give ourselves a fright
When we become less than human?
There are people who say why oh why oh why?
Now there are other ways to die
Oh why oh why?
But upon this tidal wave
Oh god oh god
But upon this tidal wave
Oh god oh god
Young Blood
We are men who stay alive
Who send your children away now
We are calling from a tower
Expressing what must be
Everyone's opinion
They are going out to bars
And they are getting into cars
I have seen them with my own eyes
America please help them
Now they are child stars
Child stars
With the sex and the drugs
And the rock and rock and rock and rock and roll
Hey!
Could we please have your attention?
There is nothing left to fear
No now that bigfoot is captured
But are the children really right
Alright alright
There is danger in the night
There are things we can't control but
Will we give ourselves a fright
When we become less than human?
There are people who say why oh why oh why?
Now there are other ways to die
Oh why oh why?
But upon this tidal wave
Oh god oh god
But upon this tidal wave
Oh god oh god
Young Blood
We are men who stay alive
Who send your children away now
We are calling from a tower
Expressing what must be
Everyone's opinion
They are going out to bars
And they are getting into cars
I have seen them with my own eyes
America please help them
Now they are child stars
Child stars
With the sex and the drugs
And the rock and rock and rock and rock and roll
Hey!

The meeting begins when the spokesperson declares that the people no longer have anything to fear, bigfoot having been captured. A question is raised, however, regarding the youth of society, and a propasal made suggesting that there is something to be feared about the way in which these youths behave
Next, they discuss what to do about this reckless generation which they cannot understand nor control. One person comes up with a conclusion. First however, he tells the people that they cannot be afraid of making decisions and carrying out actions that may seem inhuman, though some people may disagree.
The decision made is to send these children to war, thus guaranteeing their own self-preservation. They are "calling from a tower", suggestion superiority, but at the same time carrying the connotation that they are disconnected with the rest of the world, being so high up and seperated from the people below. Their opinion is one which they arrogantly believe is the opinion of all, and is one which no one is allowed to disagree with.
The youth are described like creatures of folklore who one person attests to have seen, with his own eyes, going out to bars, and getting into cars.
The repetition of the phrase "they are child stars" purposefully lacks annunciation so that the phrase begins to sound like the word "chastised", which is how these children of a misunderstood generation are treated.
i love how he always sounds drunk when he's singing
I think alot of this song is more or less about hypocrosy, about how the leaders of this country tell the "youngbloods" what to do and what is good for them. They make the young people go to war and fight based off of what they think is best. They have their opinions and their opinions are right to them so it must be right for all of us. Are these leaders willing to die/fight for the stuff they are having youngbloods do???
does your hatred for the man really run that deep? i guess it does
