All the Young People Must Fall in Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spend more on nuclear war
If that's your chosen illusion
Incinerate innocent men and women and children
The kids around here have the best idea
They say presidents come, presidents go
But all the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love
Presidents come, presidents go
And oh look at the damage they do
[Verse 2]
They never stop talking
They aren't allowed to say
They can't say what they really mean
Do you ever say what you really mean?
Presidents come, presidents go
And oh look at the damage they do
All the young people they must fall in love
So what do you want to do?
It's up to you
Presidents come, presidents go
And nobody remembers their name two weeks after they go
All the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love, in love, in love, in love, in love
Spend more on nuclear war
If that's your chosen illusion
Incinerate innocent men and women and children
The kids around here have the best idea
But all the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love
Presidents come, presidents go
And oh look at the damage they do
They never stop talking
They aren't allowed to say
They can't say what they really mean
Do you ever say what you really mean?
And oh look at the damage they do
All the young people they must fall in love
It's up to you
And nobody remembers their name two weeks after they go
All the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love
All the young people they must fall in love, in love, in love, in love, in love

I interpret this song not literally (although maybe it is supposed to be), but as mocking the government. What if public school students decided they had more important priorities than acknowledging who the president is, pledging the allegiance to the flag, and just being brainwashed in general? How much more cool would school be? More high, less low. Love this song. So cool.
