(Jean-Claude) Van Mann - Youth Killed It

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!»
