All The Young Children On Crack Lyrics

All the young children on smack,
All the young children on crack.
They diserve something better,
Let's give them something back.

I don't believe that anyone is born bad,
I don't believe that anyone is born sad,
But some people are born... mad.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Im my mind, this is a very powerful song about the youth today.

You can interpret this song many ways.

One way of looking at it is the obvious. I don't need to explain, do I?

Next, you can see it as the music today. Alot of the people today are listening to alot of crap on Kiss FM and MTV, especially the young children, hence the lines "Alll the young children on smack, all the young children on crack." When he says,"They diserve something better, let's give them something back." He's saying that they diserve to listen to better music, not just what the media tells them to like and he wants to give them better music to listen too.

The last few lines don't really have to do with the rest, yet they are my favorite lines in the whole song, so easy for me to relate to. Here's my thoughts on it, Kurt Cobain (my hero)and I were both diagnosed with Bi-Polar(Manic Depression) at age 8. I see this as how we were not born bad or sad, but we turned that way, but however we were born mad as in insane. We were born diffrerent and can not change that even if we tried.
