Youth Killed It – (Jean-Claude) Van Mann lyrics

I said “Load up get in the back of the van man, get in the back 'coz”
Got a show up, gotta sound check and talk to the sound man
Get a sick note, pull a sickie 'coz you got to play this show
As you can't be a no show
So you have to be flexible, you have to be self-employed
Or you have to lie to your boss man and leave the office with him annoyed
But we're young and we're dumb and degrees our not going to help our situation
As there's no jobs, no help, no money, no opportunities to give us placement

Every time I get a little bit closer, why the fuck does it feel so far?
Sometimes it feels like nothing, so I think “why did I start?”

“Yeah, where do I start?”

And there's no money doing this anymore
If I was doing this for money I wouldn't be sleeping on floors
I'm in a band man, I drive a van man
And me and the boys are coming to your land man
Bad decisions when I was just a teenager
Maybe my youth, my youth (youth) killed it
We're stuck in the Sad Boys Club
As our youth, our youth, our youth (youth) killed it

Every time I get a little bit closer, why the fuck does it feel so far?
Sometimes it feels like nothing, so I think “why did I start?”

Bad decisions when I was just a teenager
Maybe my youth, my youth (youth) killed it
We're stuck in the Sad Boys Club
As our youth, our youth, our youth (youth) killed it

Every time I get a little bit closer, why the fuck does it feel so far?
Sometimes it feels like nothing, so I think “why did I start?”

And I said “load up get in the back of the van man, get in the back!”
