This song is about how people may be going through hard times, but it is telling them to keep moving forward. When this song was written, by the screamer, Joel was going through really tough times (like when he writes most his songs). He didn't want to feel how he did, so he spent the time contemplating what a way to get through it would be.
I particularly like the lyrics,
"Youngbloods, youngbloods, youngbloods run free forever
Forget the death that's ever fucking nearer
Light up the sky and scream fuck the reaper
This life is for the keeping
Youngbloods just keep on screaming,"
because it represents what most people would be going through, and the way to overcome that struggle.
