Back to your miserable, trapped like criminal
Life that you loaned before
You're up on your physical, bed grind ritual
Dirt creeping out of your pores

Slick with the residue
Down to the dirty few lost on the cheap club walls
'Cause that's where you give it up
Love dipping in the dust up against the French decor

White gold drips down your thighs
Licking up the powder, lights are getting louder
Ecstasy is in your mind
Lucy's up, so start the fire
We'll all act like youth tonight

Let's all get on youth allowance (x4)
Witch and zip on youth allowance
Disco biscuits youth allowance
White hearts get on youth allowance
Let's all lose our shit allowance

I'm in the thick of it
Sweat dripping off of this pang on your bedroom floor
You're up with the best of us
Lost on the rest coming down from the night before

White gold drips down your thighs
Licking up the powder, lights are getting louder
Ecstasy is in your mind
Lucy's up, so start the fire
We'll all act like youth tonight

Let's all get on youth allowance (x4)
Witch and zip on youth allowance
Disco biscuits youth allowance
White hearts get on youth allowance
Let's all lose our shit allowance

Ecstasy is in your mind

Let's all get on youth allowance (x4)
Witch and zip on youth allowance
Disco biscuits youth allowance
White hearts get on youth allowance
Let's all lose our shit allowance

    Song Fact

    “Youth Allowance came out of the same mid 2012-jam period as The Haunted. That grating guitar riff that starts the song is the first thing we wrote and we built the rest of the song around that idea,

    It just so happened that that guitar riff, which came from just messing around, was better than anything else we had made that day. The lyrics formed pretty quickly too. They stem from Zach’s feelings of frustration that he wasn’t eligible for the government funded youth allowance, whilst seemingly all his friends were receiving it and having a great time spending their extra cash on partying.”
