It's great to be young
It's great to be youngDidn't anyone tell you
That life was a lousy substitute?
You're not packing with angels now
In your undertaker's suitIt's funky down in the gutter
That's what all the bitches say
I'll just call it a celebration
If the Devil walks my wayYou, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroinWelcome into the garden, Sarah
Come see how my roses die
We were looking for Heaven
Couldn't bear to pass you byThere are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tallYou, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroinIt's great to be young
It's great to be young
It's great to be youngI was talking to sweet thing
She said, "Hang your horses high"
There are jokers and tokers
Here's some pills and you ought to trySome say, "It's a vacation"
Some say, "I will never die"
God, won't stop at my station
Hear all the mothers cryYou, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroinYou keep saying, "Kick it, quit it"
Lord, but did You ever try
To turn Your sick soul inside out
So that the world can watch You dieHome is where I live inside
My home is filled with pain
And it might not be such a bad idea
If I never went home againYou, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroinThere are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tallYou, you are my heroin
You, you are my heroin
You know that it's trueIt's great to be young
