Intro Verse 1 Hello, Girls And Boys As You Sit In Your Carpeted Bedrooms With Your Stereos On And On And On Playin' With Those Hundred Dollar Toys Built To Occupy Your Minds So You Don't Notice Your Futures Are Gone And As You Race On Through The Streets Tonight Lookin' For Some Lonely Lover To Hold You Tight You Think That The World Is Alright Well, You're Out Of Touch, You're Out Of Time You're Gonna Crack Your Fragile Regulated Minds As You're Headin' On To No Kind Of Conclusion Chorus Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Watch 'Em As They Cut Your Throat With Their Parental Carving Knife Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Are You Too Young To See Or Just Too Old To Fight? Verse 2 They've Taken The Energy Away From You They Haven't Taught You Enough To Deal With The Ordeal You Must Be Goin' Through Yeah, But Look At This Now, They've Left You The Schools And They've Left You The Government But They're All Fallin' Down Don't Forget To Make The Past Due Payments And In This World Of Uncertainties You Can Be Certain That You Must Kiss The Ass Of The Authorities And Kiss You Will If You Want To Survive You Don't Have To Look That Hard To See That There Just Ain't No Free Rides Hell, It Takes A Real Man To Survive Chorus Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Watch 'Em As They Cut Your Throat With Their Parental Carving Knife Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Are You Too Young To See Or Just Too Old To Fight? Verse 3 Well, James Has Locked Up His Soul Some Kinda Hotel Well, He's Burnin' Inside He Shakes, Shakes, Shakes All Through The Night And Little Rudy Judy Is Passed Out On The Floor She's Just So Damn Stupid Won't Somebody Take Away Her Gun And Show Her The Door, Show Her The Door Show Her That Door's Open? And Me I'm So Misunderstood, But I'm Still Alive And My Eyes Are Open Wide To The Fact That The World Will Lie And It'll Kick You Right In The Face Chorus Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Watch 'Em As They Cut Your Throat With Their Parental Carving Knife Go On, Let 'Em Run Your Lives Are You Too Young To See Or Just Too Old To Fight? Hey Are You Too Young To See Or Just Too Old To Fight? Do We Have To Fight The Rest Of Our Lives? Outro
