Department Of Youth Lyrics
We're in trouble all the time.
You read about us all in the papers.
We walk around
And bump into walls a blind delegation.
And we ain't afraid of high power,
We're bullet proof,
And we've never heard of Eisenhower,
Missile power, justice or truth.
We're the department of youth,
Your new department of youth,
We're the department of youth,
Just me and youth.
We talk about this whole stupid world,
And still come out laughing,
We never make any sense,
But hell, that never mattered,
But we'll make it
Through our blackest hour,
We're living proof,
And we're never heard of Billy Sunday,
Damon Runyon manners or Couth.
[Repeat 2nd verse]
We're the department of youth,
The new department of youth,
We're the department of youth,
We've got the power,
We're the department of youth.
You read about us all in the papers.
We walk around
And bump into walls a blind delegation.
And we ain't afraid of high power,
We're bullet proof,
And we've never heard of Eisenhower,
Missile power, justice or truth.
Your new department of youth,
We're the department of youth,
Just me and youth.
And still come out laughing,
We never make any sense,
But hell, that never mattered,
But we'll make it
Through our blackest hour,
We're living proof,
And we're never heard of Billy Sunday,
Damon Runyon manners or Couth.
The new department of youth,
We're the department of youth,
We've got the power,
We're the department of youth.

i love the start of this song...i find it hard to believe no ones commented on it though...oh well....Alice Rocks!!
The best part of this song that is not here on the lyrics.. at the end when the song is dying down, Alice says "We got the power! And who gave it to ya?" The backup singers say "Donny Osmond!"
Alice cooper is great. I think the meaning of this song is self-defined. Its about the rebelious youth of today and the anarchy of it all
what a great song. it embodies so many of the things we associate with being young. so much energy in this song. i love it XD
At this point, Steven is having one of those dreams where you're not in the shitty (no pun intended) situation that you're in when you wake up. He wakes up and realizes he's been on the toilet all night pooping.
