Dead Youth Rose.
Dead Youth Rose, Gabriel Cappello
While we are young
Youthful and ever so free
Not a concern in site
with a world of danger ahead in the light
New responsibilities become uncovered
Late childhood becomes unmothered
Experimentation begins
In addition, so does a life of sins
Development is supposed to be beautiful
Considered as growth, a solitary rebirth
Teen years are thought of as quite bashful
Only for some, are the teen years quite fun
Schooling is broken and twisted
Students slave for a letter on a paper
But don't realize their education has tapered
While men sit back and laugh at our slave work.
