The Youth Lyrics

Lyric discussion by KenCat 

Cover art for The Youth lyrics by MGMT

Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Vanwyngarden are modern day hippies, radicals -- they believe in peace, freedom and (free) love.

The are siding with today's small portion of youth who are "flooding the streets with love, light and heat" (protest, love and rage) and "living, loving and sleeping together" (free love, a radical concept).

The youth are starting to wake up and the revolution is returning. We are no longer conforming to society's and the government's "acceptable" standards, we're starting to express ourselves creatively.

Check out hippieeit's comment and the 60's and 70's revolution.

Peace, love, freedom and music.
