about
music & words by Jeff Mitchell
lyrics
We are young, We are vital, We are healthy
We fear nothing, We have the truth, We wish you'd go away
Educate, Masturbate, and do the dishes
We live our lives, We know the course, We meditate, We pray
-- chorus --
There's an old man sitting on the steps of the YMCA
And he's wearing a single false eyelash as he looks away
Getting up from the sidewalk that he sleeps on like a timid girl
That harmless, homeless, dainty, little, old, queer
Was all alone in her world
They are young, They are sick, They are dying
They fear nothing, They have the truth, We wish they'd go away
Persperate, Nauseate, and take a deep breath
Release my hand, Head towards the light,
I'll stay behind and pray
-- chorus --
